Joker topped the box office again this weekend with a ridiculous $55 million second-weekend gross. That’s down just 43% from its $96.2 million launch, giving the film a $192.729 million domestic cume after ten days of release.

It's overseas box office was more impressive. Only down 29%. And that after a 150m opening.

reply

This could partially be because new countries opened, as international markets don't always have the same opening weekend as the US. For example, the potentially big markets of Germany and France opened 10 & 9 October, respectively. However that remains to be seen when BO Mojo update the international numbers for individual countries.

Has made $544 million globally

Joker is crazy!

I figured it would do well but with all the Media against it, I'm surprised it has done beyond expectations!

reply

The media probably hyped it even more lol... It's like "this is the movie they tried to ban!" Or "this is the movie they don't want you to see!"
