Joaquin Phoenix’s much-anticipated Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, experienced a dramatic fall at the box office, descending 80% from its initial $40 million debut to a mere $7.1 million. This significant drop set a new record for comic-book genre film collapses. The indie horror film Terrifier 3 claimed the top box office spot, earning $18.2 million, while animated feature The Wild Robot took the second position with $13.4 million. Finishing just behind Joker in the third position, Julia's Wild Robot maintained a strong hold on its earnings. Various film critics described Joker: Folie à Deux as both "daring" and "bleak," yet some found it "dull and plodding." Rounding out the top five was the comedy-drama Piece by Piece, which features voice talents like Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. At the same time, The Apprentice, a controversial film about Donald Trump’s early career, managed to start at a disappointing tenth place, attracting $1.6 million amidst ongoing discussions about its portrayal of events and fictional disclaimers. The film is set to feature at the London Film Festival, albeit under scrutiny and criticism from Trump himself, labeling it as a "politically disgusting hatchet job."
