Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore said, "That's a double whammy that's very difficult to recover from," reported AP. He added,“The biggest issue of all is the reported budget. A $40 or $50 million opening for a less expensive movie would be a solid debut."

Distributed by Warner Bros, the movie cost at least twice as much as the first film to produce but failed to make big numbers at the box office. According to global figures, the film minted $81.1 million from 25,788 screens. Thus, the global box office earnings are estimated to be around $121.1 million.

Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel gave a one-star rating to the movie. In a post on X (formerly twitter), he said,“Joker2 has turned out to be an EPIC DISASTER GLOBALLY with a projected lifetime business in the range of $300-400M. In India, the film crashed post day 1, with a lifetime looking to wrap below 20 cr net."
