Comment on Why did Joker 2 lose so much money? And how on earth did it cost so much in the first place?
Emperor@feddit.uk 5 days agoA 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.
