Joker: Folie À Deux Blu-Ray Arrives Post Disastrous Weekend

Oct 22, 2024 6:32 PM

Joker: Folie à Deux is set to be released on premium digital platforms starting October 29, and physical formats like Blu-ray and DVD will follow on December 17. This comes after the film's poor box office performance, characterized by a staggering drop in ticket sales. The release will include several special features such as documentaries and behind-the-scenes content, aiming to attract attention from audiences despite its lackluster critical reception. As home releases for underperforming films have become more common, Joker: Folie à Deux joins the ranks of other titles like Shazam! Fury of the Gods that have made swift transitions post-theatrical run.

What are the special features included in the Joker: Folie à Deux Blu-ray release?

The Joker: Folie à Deux Blu-ray release will contain several special features, including a four-part longform documentary titled "Everything Must Go," along with several other segments titled "Can I Have A Cigarette?," "Finding Lee," "A Hundred Films In One," "King of Nothing," "The Character Of Music," "Live! With The Joker," and "Colors Of Madness."

Joker: Folie à Deux, directed by Todd Phillips and featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, is a musical sequel to the 2019 hit, which earned over a billion dollars. However, the sequel has faced criticism for its narrative approach and underwhelming execution, leading to its swift move to home release amid disappointing audience interest. The original Joker movie was groundbreaking in its exploration of mental illness and societal issues, setting high expectations for its follow-up, which have not been met according to early reviews.
