Without china and with that small budget. Most profitable film of the year, and best comic book film.

I told y'all we've entered the age of DC. Marvel is done as the big leader.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, now. $1b is a good milestone, but it's nowhere near the titantic gross of Infinity War or Endgame.

Although I can't imagine this film doing that great in China since it's not really a big action movie with tons of special effects.

That was literally the culmination of 20 films over 11 years.

This was a standalone

I agree, the reason movies like Pacific Rim did so well in China was specifically what you said. Of course Power Rangers bombed over there, but that was because it was competing against GotG2, so it was dead on arrival.

Kind of, yeah. It's still based on a character who is probably the most iconic single comic book villain of all time. I doubt if anyone can name a comic villain with more clout than the Joker.

I love DC and I love Joker, and I'm extremely happy to see successful, well-received films coming out of DC (though I loved Man of Steel and BvS way more than the average internet critic). That said, it's a little early to declare DC the king when it's only just now hitting the previous benchmarks set by Marvel.

It's Joker, dude. Literally one of the most popular villains in fiction, most likely top 2 with Darth Vader. And it's grossed a billion, a good chunk of the MCU films have done the same.

One thing about DC, they've got a real gold mine in terms of darker/edgier content. Give us more R-rated, high-intensity films like Joker, and DC might have found its niche with the adult market. So many DC villains are dark as can be, especially Batman villains.

Let Marvel have PG-13 blockbuster extravaganzas, and give us DC character studies/drama films with a superhero theme, and I think they can coexist extremely well.

1b without pandering to China like Disney (but it's only bad when blizzard does it) and on an r rated movie is phenomenal

I was a fan of the movie, I just saw it last week. The critic score on Rotten Tomatoes scared me a bit. I felt like the long scenes of him dancing/singing were why the critics were harsh on it, because it seemed like they were supposed to be very artsy, but they fell really flat in my opinion. They served a purpose, but man, after the first two they just started feeling long and awkward. That was really my only complaint, which is really minor to me

Yes, china has many censorship laws that you have to adhere to. The violence of the final act was likely enough to keep it out of China, and the coverall theme of people rising up wouldn't sit well with them either

Joker's accomplishment amazes me. Rated R, no China and most media claiming it will bring about an incel Apocalypse. I thought it would double or triple its relatively low costs, but this is just incredible.

Hopefully it sends a message than capitulating to certain crowds on the internet isn't necessarily commercially advantageous.

WB employees estimated that it would barely make it's money back. They later adjusted expectations to $90 million based on positive buzz from tiff and vff.
