Joker Expected To Hit $155M Worldwide In Opening Weekend

Joker: Folie À Deux

It looks like Todd Phillips’ Joker is heading to impress plenty of people this coming weekend. With the film ready to hit theaters as soon as 4 PM this coming Thursday, updated forecasts are starting to zero in on just how much the comic-book-based arthouse-type picture will ultimately make at the box office.

According to Deadline, the film is eyeing a $80 million opener in North America, potentially on course to best Venom’s $80.25 million cume. Of course, given all the controversy surrounding the movie, it’s hard not to imagine it breaks these numbers (even if my dumbass thought this movie wouldn’t break $40 million in its opening weekend).

Overseas, the movie is expected to take in $75 million or so, leading to a potential $155 million worldwide cume. This is all in spite of the movie’s hard-R rating, and unlike something like Deadpool, it isn’t guaranteed any laughs along the way. Logan did similar business with an $86 million opener, but that film was a swansong for a beloved actor finishing up a beloved role, so it’s not quite comparable there.

How much do you think the movie will make opening weekend? Let us know down below!
