Joaquin Phoenix's 'Joker' Poised For A Huge Opening Weekend Worldwide

[RandySF]

A new box office forecast from Deadline suggests that Joaquin Phoenix’s upcoming Joker film will have a huge worldwide opening with $155M plus. This figure would make the Joaquin Phoenix film the second-highest October worldwide opening, which currently belongs to Venom with $207.4M.

Joker is also projected to earn $80M plus in the states, despite some concerns surrounding the film. However, Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is still coming off of numerous praise from critics leading up to its release, which appears to be working in its favor. These projections for Joker would make the DC film a huge success, given its $55M budget.

Directed by Todd Phillips from a script he co-wrote with Scott Silver, Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Douglas Hodge, Marc Maron, Josh Pais, and Shea Whigham. The movie is not part of the DC Extended Universe, and seems to play into Warner Bros.’s interests of making creator-driven superhero movies over necessarily building a hyper-connected shared universe… At least for the time being.
