It’s too good. I’m kind of in the same boat. I have to go looking to see whats out there to know now. I’m basically reliant on paying attention to social media discussions/increased interest or relevance to suspect something new is coming out.
Comment on Why did Joker 2 lose so much money? And how on earth did it cost so much in the first place?

I had no idea this existed before people hated on it. are my ad blockers too good, or is there a problem with the marketing of Hollywood movies now?

Megalopolis suffered from unwilling distributors, so that easily explains its lack of PR and why you hadn’t heard about it. Not so with this movie.

A number of films had minimal marketing because the studios knew they were going to crash and burn (Borderlands, Megalopolis, etc) but I am unsure about Joker - both it and Megalopolis have had a lot of press in the build up to their release and afterwards (often not very flattering press but still…). They’ve both had a lot of posts here so it would have been difficult to avoid.

Thats interesting, as I had a vague awareness they were making a sequel, and also only really heard more once it had hit cinemas and they were already declaring it a loss.
I don’t remember seeing a lot of posts here on the run up to the release. But perhaps I just ignored it because I couldnt see how a sequel was going to do the story justice and not just be a blatant cash grab.
