It's pretty safe to assume WB thought IT 2 would make a lot more money than Joker, not only in Japan but worldwide. But that's life.

We are never sure if the numbers are through wednesday or thursday, so the fair comparison is what screendaily reported last week and this week, regardless. Can't compare Mojo to Screendaily. So yeah, around -35%, which is pretty good (and in line with the available numbers that get posted on the forum day by day). DOM weekend is poised to drop around that number so I imagine OS will follow as well. 920M floor is my guess. If it makes closer to 930M, the billion is locked.

920M was the expected number since last weekend so I don't see what the fuzz is about. It will probably do that or more. It only means OS is more or less keeping the same pace as DOM now instead of overperforming again (and it still did a bit to move the ratio). Still on pace to reach 1b (although it would be less of a certainty). Again, I won't be surprised if Mojo's numbers are not actually through WED. From all the reports posted on the forum, it seems it's helding better than -56% in most countries. More like -40% at the most. 5.46M on Wednesday (the difference between -56% and -40%) to make 20.1M MON-WED is plausible.

I wonder if Halloween could also help Joker over the weekend due to people who haven't watched it being interested in watching it after seeing everyone dressed as Joker at Halloween parties 😝

32.5/67.5 ratio now. With that ratio, a 325M domestic would give exactly 1,000,000 Maybe it's actually through tuesday like a couple of weeks ago. Who knows with the new Mojo design?

I added all the TDK's box office tallies from every country on their 5th weekend (4th for France and Germany), plus calculated the proportional tally from other unlisted markets, and came up with 883M. Around 40M behind Joker will be by sunday.

Joker predicted for 12.5 and Mal2 for 12? Another fierce battle incoming.

-35.3% from LW. Hoping every day stays in that range or lower. If ratio holds, It should be 865M WW by now, passing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

I think nobody mentioned yet that Maleficent 2 is actually #3 on Monday. Latest Dailies Thu Oct 24 Fri Oct 25 Sat Oct 26 Sun Oct 27 Mon Oct 28 Joker $1,768,872 Love and Mercy $1,416,609 Maleficent: Mistress of Evil $1,250,695 Zombieland: Double Tap $1,041,574 The Addams Family $713,776

The OS weekend was 49.2M (up 1.4M) The weekdays went up 1.2M. EDIT: sorry, you already edited it

I think it will definitely be nominated for the Globe, not only that but it has big chances of winning too. Bohemian Rhapsody won this year after all. Joaquin Phoenix' nomination is a given, and he'll probably win.

It's true that breaking 1 billion has lost some appeal lately, specially this year with so many films passing the threshold. But Joker would actually have a qualifier that would make it historical, as the first R-rated film to break a billion. If it happens, many R-rated films may accomplish the same thing in the future, or even beat its highest grossing record, but Joker would always have the record for the first.

Genysis left everyone with a bad taste in their mouths, even in some countries where it did well I imagine. And the marketing campaign has been basically non existant, at least here in Brazil. Franchise burnout. It had to be exceptionally great to even start doing well. Or actually be directed by Cameron.

So would Disney, I imagine

Turns out Box Office Pro was spot on with their early forecast, and Deadline was pretty close too.

It seems like it will be too close to call using estimates, we'll have to wait for the actuals on monday 😒

I really hate Snyder fans coming out of the woodwork to tell people that Joker proves "dark" DC movies are the way to go. Of course Joker should be dark, it's a villain, and one of the most disturbing ones. Guess they missed the fact that Aquaman is the top DC movie of all time. Or that Joker is going to eclipse BvS at the box office, despite having the two biggest comic book characters of all time. Not to mention that, of all the post-Man of Steel movies, Joker is the one that has absolutely zero to do with Snyder.

There's a detail here: is it about people predicting BO at the forum or other BO forums and the like (like reddit), or in general/industry experts? Because there were no experts predicting 100M domestic total for Aladdin I think, tracking was ok, and there always was a real possibility for a billion if it broke out. Meanwhile nobody who wasn't kidding predicted Joker would get close to a billion.

Great hold for Joker, with actuals it might even have an increase.

Chances that not only Joker regains #1 but also Zombieland 2 wins #2 over Maleficent 2?

They say WB is better than most at the home entertainment deals. We'll when they do an actual breakdown. It's weird that they did this one before final numbers.

Box Office Pro is not the only one with such a bold prediction, Deadline predicts 19-20M (-33%) https://deadline.com/2019/10/joker-profit-global-box-office-avengers-1202767490/ Joker is expected to be at $825M in worldwide box office at the end of its fourth weekend, while in its fourth weekend here in North America, the pic is expected to lead a sleepy Halloween frame with $19M-$20M for No. 1, off 33% from a week ago, for a running domestic total near $279M.

+77.78% bump for Maleficent 2? Is that normal for a kids movie in October?

R$105M (local currency). Already close to Wonder Woman's total in Brazilian Real (R$108M / 33.5M USD).

820-830M by next sunday? Maybe 850M.
