‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ divided critics last year and bombed at the box office. Lady Gaga has spoken out about the critical and commercial response to last year’s Joker: Folie à Deux. The musician and actor, 38, appeared in Todd Phillips’s comic book sequel as Harleen Quinzel, the love interest of Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck.
It also failed to perform at the box office, earning just $207 million worldwide against an estimated $200 million budget. Industry analysts have calculated that studio Warner Bros. likely lost between $150 million and $200 million on the film’s theatrical run.
She continued: “It’s that simple. And I think to be an artist, you have to be willing for people to sometimes not like it. And you keep going even if something didn’t connect in the way that you intended.”. Gaga is nominated in the Worst Actress category, Phoenix for Worst Actor and Phillips for Worst Director.
According to a press announcement, “Mayhem reinvents her early sound with a kaleidoscopic approach that draws from her expansive musical library while embracing a fresh and fearless artistic perspective.”. Her last album Harlequin was a companion album for Joker: Folie à Deux that climbed no higher than No. 20 on the Billboard 200.
