Joker Tracking For $82M Opening

In spite of its R rating and its overall serious tone, DC’s upcoming prestige picture, Joker, is looking to do pretty solid business at the box office — and this is especially great considering its relatively low budget ($55 million) for a comic book movie. But what exactly constitutes “solid business”?

According to THR, the Todd Phillips-directed flick is on track to make around $82 million over the course of its October 4 opening weekend. Another tracking service has Joker pegged at around $77 million while others have it at around $87 million. With that in mind, I think $82 million is a solid case of splitting the difference.

This could mean the film is on deck to break the opening-weekend record for the month of October — a record that is currently held by Venom’s own $80.2 million.

In short, I think it’s safe to say my own $20-$40 million predictions from weeks back are pretty much embarrassingly off. But we’ll see.
