Joker crosses the $900 million mark at the box office
It’s also now the top-grossing R-rated film of all time.
The Todd Phillips-directed Joker has officially reached the $900 million milestone in worldwide box office sales, inching it closer to the billion-dollar threshold that it may very well reach before the end of its theatrical run, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The anti-hero flick, starring Joaquin Phoenix in its title role, has already broken the record as the top-grossing R-fated film of all time, pulling in $934 million and surpassing Deadpool's $783 million. This includes $299.6 million in domestic box office sales and $634.4 million internationally. So far, the film is also the highest-gross Warner Bros. release of all time in 10 different markets and has been the top film in Europe for the past 5 weeks.
