Fan demands Joker director 'refund my money' after 'funniest excuse'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Film fans have called on the director of the Joker sequel to issue refunds, slamming what they insist is the 'funniest excuse' for the film's lacklustre performance at the box office.

Despite the staggering $1 billion grossed by the original 2019 movie, Todd Phillipshas not even come close to matching these figures with his sequel.

Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, the musical follow-up has so far amassed a worldwide total of $201.6 million, a figure that inches just above the estimated budget for production.

Phillips, also recognised for his work on The Hangover, has now offered his insights into how the film industry might breathe new life into the cinema experience, reports the Mirror.
