A pair of all-media screenings for Todd Phillips‘ Joker: Folie a Deux will happen in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday, 10.2. The film will begin playing in plexes all across the country the following night (Thursday, 10.3). This means that Warner Bros. marketing has very little confidence in the critical reaction being positive. Joker 2 was slammed not long ago by Venice Film Festival crickets. I for one am holding out hope that Phillips has thrown a great wackadoo curveball, at least according to the Hollywood Elsewhere rate-o-meter.
