The second standalone movie about Joker premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, stirring up much interest while receiving mixed reviews. Now, Joker: Folie à Deux is available in cinemas worldwide, so you can see for yourself how the tale about Arthur Fleck and Harleen Quinzel turns out.
Joker 2, with its musical numbers and stars, is best to see on the big screen. However, if you’re already curious about when the new DC film may appear on streaming, digital platforms, and store shelves, then keep on reading.

When could Joker: Folie à Deux be released on VOD?
Much depends on how Todd Philips’ new feature will perform at the global box office. However, Joker: Folie à Deux is expected to be one of the biggest films of the year. We pressume it will attract DC universe fans, movie enthusiasts and music lovers who want to see how Lady Gaga will perform on the big screen.
If the audience for Joker 2 is indeed high, Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, will have no reason to release the movie on VOD anytime soon. The studio’s most profitable films from 2023 and 2024 – Barbie, Wonka, Dune: Part 2 or Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire – hit digital platforms a month and a half after the theatrical release. What’s interesting, the recent box office smash, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will arrive on digital less than a month after theatrical release.
Thus, if Joker: Folie à Deux doesn’t fail at the box office, it may become available for purchase or rental in early-to-mid November 2024.
This is only an estimated date – we’ll update this article with more information as soon as we have it.

When will Joker: Folie à Deux be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
In the US, physical copies of Warner Bros. films generally appear quickly after VOD release. The smashing hits mentioned above, such as Barbie or Dune: Part 2, arrived on DVD and Blu-ray just a month after being released on digital platforms.
If Joker: Folie à Deux follows a similar path, its physical copies may become available in early-to-mid-December 2024. Due to the upcoming Christmas and shopping frenzy, this date would work in favour of profits from sales, so this prediction feels likely.
When could Joker: Folie à Deux be released on streaming services?
It’s more difficult to determine when a new Joker movie might drop on streaming because Warner Bros. doesn’t have a set pattern here.
Barbie didn’t hit Max until nine weeks after its release on DVD and Blu-ray. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire took three weeks, while Wonka only needed 10 days. In contrast, this year’s massive blockbuster, Dune: Part 2 appeared on streaming just a week after the physical editions were released.
The earliest Joker: Folie à Deux could appear on streaming is the second half of December 2024. On the other hand, Warner Bros. may wait until 2025 to bring the film on Max in the US and on Sky and Now in the UK.
