I'm curious what the UK box office total will eventually be - final total - as on Sunday it will apparently be at $64.1 million

Around $70m probably, could be closer to $75m depending on late legs.

So if we take $70m, it means £56.9 and will surpass TDKR right ? Is that means Joker will replace it as highest grossing solo CBM of all time ?

With Joker securing that fifth consecutive #1 at the box office it becomes the only comic-book film to have hit at least 5 - that includes any MCU, modern Star Wars or DC film ever; not to mention it's the second R Rated/15 film to have at least 5 since Gladiator (which coincidentally starred Phoenix almost 19 years ago).
 
Just to put that into perspective:
 
13 consecutive weekends at #1:
Titanic (1998)
7 consecutive weekends at #1:
Toy Story 2 (2000)
Gladiator (2000)
6 consecutive weekends at #1:
The World's Not Enough (1999)
Avatar (2010)
5 consecutive weekends at #1:
Star Trek Generations (1995)
A Bugs Life (1999)
Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Joker (2019)

Yes. That’d also put it in the top 25 grossing films of all time.

Joker could potentially do 6 weeks as the competition is only The Aeronauts, Midway and The Good Liar and I'm not sure if any of those could it. The week after is more likely as it's Le Mans 66 and Last Christmas.

But won't Doctor Sleep take any of those numbers though?

So basically if you want your movie to succeed  in UK have a murderous Joaquin Phoenix...

I wouldn't count out The Aeronauts, that's a 7 day opening weekend
