Movie musicals traditionally use their numbers as a chance to explore new formal horizons, advance the plot or revel in spectacle. On the other hand, “Folie à Deux” is seemingly a musical for no reason other than generating headlines about how weird it is that it’s a musical.

Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga’s movie flop “Folie à Deux” falls out of the domestic box office top five in its third week of release.

Folie a Deux" is not the only blockbuster-budgeted film to fall flat at the box office this year. Studios including Universal, Sony and Lionsgate have dropped hundreds of millions of dollars on franchise features and star-studded ensembles only to see ticket sales sputter.
