For the weekend of October 4-6, 2019, Joker opened to $93 million, the highest October opening ever, breaking the record set by Venom last year. Joker was unafraid to go for an R rating and eschew many conventions of “comic book movies” in this take on the Joker’s origin. It’s the highest opening ever for Joaquin Phoenix as well. In fact he hasn’t been in a movie that passed the $93 million domestic mark since 2005’s Walk the Line.
In limited release, Pain & Glory starring Penelope Cruz did well, while Lucy in the Sky starring Natalie Portman bombed.
Joker will have some competition next weekend but it’s still expected to hold on to the top spot while Gemini Man and The Addams Family duke it out for #2.
Opens October 11
THE ADDAMS FAMILY with the voices of Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron and Chloe Grace Moretz.
GEMINI MAN with Will Smith, Clive Owen, Mary Elizabeth Instead and Benedict Wong.
JEXI with Adam Devine, Rose Byrne, Michael Pena and Wanda Sykes.
