Sometimes, you can only dip into a well once. After a blistering hit from critics and fans and a box office take to match, Joker: Folie À Deux will sprint onto theater-at-home streaming on October 29th with 4K UHD & Blu-ray discs dropping in time for Christmas.
Ouch, that's a painfully quick turnaround. In case you didn't notice, the coverage of the jukebox musical sequel Joker: Folie À Deux hasn't exactly been kind. In fact, it's been pretty damn brutal. Ever since the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, this sequel from Todd Phillips starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, the good news has been about as scarce as positive reviews. Now with the studio blame game train under a full head of steam, Joker: Folie À Deux will sneak its way onto digital retail platforms on October 29th with 4K and Blu-ray discs dropping down the chimney on December 17th in time for a very merry Christmas.
Joker: Folie À Deux finds Arthur Fleck institutionalized at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside him.
