Todd Phillips’ Joker is getting dangerously close to a new milestone at the worldwide box office. The Warner Bros. film grossed a further $9.2m at the domestic box office and $20.3m internationally.
In it’s sixth weekend at the box office Joker finally fell from the top 5 in North America but the film shows no sign of exiting the race just yet.
That $9.2m domestic weekend brings its American tally to a hugely impressive $313.5m. The international figures now stand at an estimated $671.2m.
If you’re keeping up with the maths that means that worldwide box office is now sitting at around $984.7m, meaning that Joker will most likely cross the coveted $1 billion mark sometime next weekend.
Reports now put the film as the most profitable R-rated movie of all time. Current figures give the film a x15.3 multiplier over its production budget. Someone at Warner Bros. is very happy!
