Although reviews after the premiere at the Venice Film Festival were far from enthusiastic, no one expected Folie à Deux to be such a flop. Not only did it get 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it was beat at the box office by an indie slasher, Terrifier 3.
In our opinion, it is worth giving Joker: Folie à Deux a chance and going to the cinema to see how the musical story of Arthur Fleck and Harleen Quinzel plays out. However, if you’re already curious about when the new DC film may appear on streaming, digital platforms, and store shelves, keep on reading.

When will Joker: Folie à Deux be released on VOD?
According to the information provided by Variety, the film will be available for rental and purchase on Tuesday, 29 October 2024.
The film will appear on digital services just 25 days after its theatrical release, which is much earlier than expected. Warner Bros.’s decision is certainly influenced by Folie à Deux’s poor ticket sales. However, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, a recent smash, on VOD appeared nearly as quickly, only 32 days after it opened in cinemas.

When will Joker: Folie à Deux be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
According to the date provided on the Amazon US website, physical copies of the Warner Bros. film will appear in the store on Tuesday, 17 December 2024. Joker: Folie à Deux is now available for pre-order.
This date hasn’t yet been confirmed by Warner Bros., however, it pairs with our earlier predictions. Due to the upcoming Christmas and shopping frenzy, this date would work in favour of profits from sales, so this information 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.
We estimate that the earliest Joker: Folie à Deux could appear on Max in the US and on Sky and Now in the UK is the second half of December 2024.
