A bit misleading, DP & DP 2 set the record before Disney purchase Fox, Technically DISNEY bought the R-rated opening record.

Antonio Banderas is zooming closer to his Oscar best actor glory.

Great expansion for Judy. My audience yesterday was super old so that's a good sign for legs. @WrathOfHan you have been warned.

 

Renee's performance in it is the real deal though. Movie will likely have strong staying power just for the WOM surrounding her performance alone.

Nope, not summer and not a holiday and perfectly inline with R rated adult film behavior in October. It could even be a tad too nice. 

nope actuals should be at least $120m 

[Krissykins]

Anyway, stunning opening for Joker. 
 

That overseas opening is wild, considering no kids allowed to boost grosses. 

[filmlover]

Also that's a great start for Pain & Glory. Lucy in the Sky though...ouch. Poor Natalie.

Lol. My post said “genuine”. But go off. 

We didn’t say R rated, we said “adult” films. 

R Rated aren't Adult films 🤔

Kids are box office factor in West.

How does saying the word genuine make it any different? If he didn't have"genuine hopes" or didn't truly believe it, why would he make a club predicting something he didn't think would happen? This makes no sense.

there's a saying in Hindi,

 

mooh se badam nhi toot te,

aur g*** se akhrot todega.

 

Basically,

"can't break almond by teeth,

and thinking to break walnut by a**"

There's a lot of criticism to Joker that the film has very little substance. Not sure how Deadpool could be seen as a less "adult" film than Joker. To each their own I guess.

Have you seen the film? 

Deadpool is R-rated action comedy, it is the exactly opposite type R-rated movie to Joker. 

And where you have seen that "a lot of critcism"? I can show opposite examples.

This deserves all the money. What a movie.

[Cmasterclay]

My main thought on Joker is that it was much more interesting as a deconstruction of superhero movies/stories than as any sort of statement on society or anything.

Ending at $234M total would be a decent run given the budget.

 

It did way better than expected overseas compared to DL prediction:

 

Quote

Prebookings in Europe are phenomenal, with great word-of-mouth. All in overseas — save France, Germany and China among majors — the film should generate a $75M opening this weekend, give or take.
