Anyone who saw the movie, please answer this question: is Joaquin happening as the Best Actor? 

I feel a oscar nomination is locked for him.

[Lordmandeep]

Does it matter who wins best actor award some years..

 

The performance carries it self usually... 

 

Like we know that Leo performance in Wolf of Wall Street was legendary and very noteworthy 

[eddyxx]

If this opens to 90m then every movie with the Joker will have a 90m+ opening weekend(Batman adjusts to 91m).

Calling it right now, he’s going to win the Oscar.

Glad others love it. Felt outside of Phoenix, the score and the look, it was aggressively bad. Like... Nothing else worked for me at all. I found myself cracking up at how hard it was trying to different. 

 

Phoenix was incredible. Music... Just awesome, including old classics placed throughout. Looked outstanding... Could feel and taste the grime. I'll leave out getting into the three page list of how lazy, boring and impotent all the rest was though.

 

D+

 

Glad it's blowing up at box office. Fingers crossed for 100M+ OW DOM.

The fall has proven that the box office still has a pulse! Great start for a very appealing film like The Joker! It’s Friday night should be quite interesting! And should play well.

 

Also quite needed for Warner Bros considering It 2, Shazam, Annabelle 3, Isn’t It Romantic, and La Llorna were  their only hits.

Can't imagine him not getting a nomination. Not expecting him to win though. For a number of reasons. But, yes, he will make the cut of five or however many they nominate.

Well, I compared with Venom and Halloween and it is pretty strong compared to them. It is behind IT 2 but IT2 slowed in evening so that is that.

 

Still expecting $24mn True Friday conservatively.

 

Movies for gamers (Pika Pika, Warcraft, etc) tend to be frontloaded relative to their genre.  I’d expect the same here.

How is Joker a movie for gamers? I agree that I'd think Joker would be more presale loaded than Venom or Halloween (just due to the insane amount of pre-release buzz it had, DC films tend to be presale heavy, etc) but I don't think gamers factor into it.

I was making a funny, but also semi-serious comment.  I’d expect Joker to be a relatively more frontloaded comic book movie given it seems to have more of a fan appeal than casual one.

 

Granted it’s also opening in October, so previews aren’t as frontloaded at this time frame.

How did Al Pacino not win for Godfather part 2 oof

There's a very long, drawn out scene where Joker starts playing an NES. Joaquin walked out of set a few times in frustration over the difficulty.

[filmlover]

Looking around for later and Joker is obviously looking to be massive but Judy is still doing really well around here too in some of the biggest auditoriums after doing so well last weekend. Starting to feel like that one's becoming a mini sleeper hit tbh.

Godfather II and Dog Day are his best work. Even his turn in Glengary Glen Ross is better than his terrible Scent of a WHOOmHan performance

Detective Pikachu was a success, it's still their second biggest film WW this year

Honestly this film has the least amount of fan services in superhero genre since.....

 

I am actually worry about if DC fans won't like, how this film reject fanboys services is another level and I don't think the marketing so far has prepared fans enough for that.
