DC’s latest sequel Joker: Folie à Deux might take longer to hit streaming platforms than some fans expect.
The film, released in theaters on October 4, has not performed well at the box office, generating just $37.8 million domestically in its opening weekend.
Criticized for its musical elements and tone, this sequel to 2019’s Joker has left fans wondering when they can catch it at home.
When Will Joker 2 Release on Digital Platforms?
The Joker 2 digital release is expected within the next few weeks, based on Warner Bros.’ recent trends.
New Warner Bros. films have typically moved to digital services between 30 and 50 days after their theatrical release.
This means that Joker 2 could be available for purchase or rent by around November 4.
For comparison, here are a few Warner Bros. films and their theatrical-to-digital release windows:
- Blue Beetle: 39 days
- Wonka: 46 days
- Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: 32 days
- Furiosa: 31 days
Given Joker 2’s underperformance at the box office, its timeline might mirror that of Furiosa, which arrived on digital just 31 days after release.
When Will Joker 2 Be Available on Max?
After its digital release, the next big question is when Joker 2 will land on Max. Most Warner Bros.
films hit streaming services around two to three months after their theatrical debut. For Joker 2, it could take about 67 to 91 days to reach Max.
Recent Warner Bros. films have followed this pattern:
- Blue Beetle: 91 days
- Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: 67 days
- Dune: Part Two: 81 days
- Furiosa: 84 days
If Joker 2 follows the quickest pattern, similar to Aquaman 2, it could be available for streaming on Max as early as December 10.
The timing is backed up by the announcement that the movie’s Blu-ray release will be on December 17. Warner Bros. typically makes their films available on Max around a week after the Blu-ray comes out.
Fans can expect to stream Joker 2 on Max by mid-December, just in time for the holiday season, possibly even before the official physical Blu-ray release.
