Joaquin Phoenix's JOKER movie continues to have an unimaginable amount of box office success.
In its third weekend of release, JOKER has pulled in approximately $117 million globally.
This brings the worldwide tally for JOKER to $737 million surpassing both recent Warner Bros. and DC film releases MAN OF STEEL ($668M) and JUSTICE LEAGUE ($657M). You read that right... JOKER has made more than Zack Snyder's Superman movie and the JUSTICE LEAGUE team-up amalgamation disaster from both Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon.
At this rate, JOKER should surpass the all-time top grossing R-rated movie worldwide, easily. DEADPOOL 2 holds that title with its $785M.
Made for a mere $55 million (reportedly), this makes JOKER a bonafide blockbuster movie in every way as it has exceeded pretty much all financial expectations.
Next up is quite obvious as the studio will most likely go all-in to bring more smaller budget DC character pieces similar to JOKER to the forefront of its production plans. Whether or not this means a sequel for the JOKER is unknown, but Phoenix recently said he would be open to returning to the role for another one.
