   The Joker got the last laugh.   
      
   “Joker: Folie á Deux” creeped its way to No. 1 on its first day in   
   theaters Friday, earning $20 million, according to The Numbers.   
      
   The Todd-Phillips-directed psychological thriller, which The Post   
   called “a pointless sequel,” is a follow-up to 2019’s “Joker,” which   
   earned Joaquin Phoenix, who reprises his titular role, an Oscar.   
      
   Joaquin Phoenix is a DEI POS.   
      
   It is also a musical — and The Post said Phoenix and his co-star Lady   
   Gaga, who plays his love interest, Harley Quinn, “sing for no reason.”   
      
   The supervillain flick, which cost $200 million to make, is projected   
   to take in at most $47 million on its opening weekend in 4,102   
   theaters, according to Deadline.   
      
   That figure is around half of what the original film made on its   
   opening weekend.   
      
   On its second Friday in theaters, “The Wild Robot” came in second, with   
   sales of close to $5 million.   
      
   The sci-fi adventure, which is based on the popular children’s book   
   series of the same name, already earned more than $50 million   
   domestically, as per Variety.   
      
   Black "leading characters" especially "black leading fem characters"   
   don't sell.  THe only thing they are good at is getting fucked on   
   onlyfans by basketball or football teams.
