“Joker” Takes in More Than $800 Million at the Global Box Office, Becoming the Highest-Grossing R-Rated Film of All Time

Quote

Since its opening earlier this month, Warner Bros. Pictures, Village Roadshow Pictures and BRON Creative’s “Joker” has been a powerhouse across the globe, passing the milestone $800 million mark, making it the highest grossing R-rated film of all time worldwide at $804.4 million and counting. The announcement was made today by Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

 

The film’s impressive opening weekend totals made “Joker” the biggest October opener of all time domestically, internationally and worldwide. Since then, domestically the film has grossed $264.1 million in just three weeks and can boast numerous October records, including largest pre-show, and largest Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It also earned the largest all-time opening for a drama, an R-rated DC film, a Todd Phillips film, a Joaquin Phoenix film, a Robert De Niro film, and a Village Roadshow film.

 

Internationally, “Joker” has garnered a total of $540.3 million and holds records for the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, the highest-grossing Warner Bros. film of all time in 14 markets, including Argentina and Mexico, and the highest-grossing DC film in 30 markets, including Italy, Spain, Russia, Argentina and Mexico.

 

In making the announcement, Emmerich stated, “Todd Phillips’s bold, creative vision is evident in every frame of ‘Joker,’ matched only by Joaquin Phoenix’s incomparable interpretation of this iconic character. What they and everyone who worked on this film created has clearly resonated with audiences worldwide. We congratulate them and our colleagues at DC on reaching this extraordinary benchmark, and I personally want to congratulate the entire Warner Bros. team on the roll-out of this film.”

Oh Thor:Ragnarok - someone is knocking at the gates of Asgard. Or what is left of it.

As the rain hammered down Friday, postponing play at the Zozo Championship and causing considerable upheaval in the region, Woods and several others ventured to a Narita movie theater to catch "Joker.''

Woods called the film "dark,''

But did he drink from the VIFF beverage of choice? It is rumored to bring bursts of long-term energy.

Prior to any 10/28 box office updates, what a wild ride this film has been on coming this close to Thor: Ragnarok, Venom and even Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.

And those films had China contributions.

Any chance it hits $1 billion?

Another interesting interview, he's actually really articulate. Has he always had that slur?

I kept thinking "not without China'. But man, what an unexpected run-up to where it is now. Anything is possible now, as we are still talking about this is just Day 25 as of 10/28/19. This has a long runway ahead.

Why isn't this distributed in China?

Hong Kong riots and the later part of this film being too similar may have hit too close to home is the assumption.
