Over a third of the budget is paying 3 people

You gotta in this case with a sequel to a billion dollar film. It's not like they have expansive vfx to worry about. Joker 1 was relatively cheap to film for a CBM and made such a massive profit without the crew having been paid much in comparison. Take away their salaries and it's still quite an increase in budget

This can be a prob in general tho but everyone's likely to make money here in the end

Idk if the crew getting paid like crazy

True can only really see it if Todd was looking out for his team and brought folks back

Also if I recall correctly both Phoenix and phillips took big paycuts up front because WB wasn't sure how it would be received so its only right they get a payday this time around

Ehh the first solo Joker movie ever making a billion is inevitable as long as it’s well cast and serviceable. Joaquin and Phillips definitely took it a bit over into special territory tho separately

no way was it inevitable lol, a billion dollar rated R movie had never even been done before. and it didnt even release in china.

only reason it hit a billion was because it was as good as it was

people really still doubting this team didn't even learn from the first time.

everyone thought a joker solo movie was a terrible idea and it made a billion dollars and became a cultural phenomenon

todd and joaquin cooking up something special again

“A Star Is Born”
“Multiple music sequences”

phillips took like 70m in backend gross

Who asked for a sequel

Bro it’s a Joker movie. It’s still the Joker at the end of the day, ain’t no rating gonna get in the way of the whole world knowing about the first ever Joker movie starring a popular beloved actor

Like Venom almost made a billion lol

Maybe they aren’t showing Arkham city at all this time? and it’s all within the asylum

Wtf kind of title is that lol

Folie à deux is defined as an identical or similar mental disorder affecting two or more individuals, usually the members of a close family.

I'm currently feeling optimistic about this tbh.
But I just like that Todd is actually going to try something that shakes up the comic book genre.
I feel like it's really needed right now considering people are feeling MCU fatigue

Ok thats hard

zazie returning

This gonna be garbage

Maybe she was a doctor in Arkham all along lol

nearly everyone

Need Frances Conroy back, just finished six feet under
