DC Joker Movie (Non-DCEU)

Christ, that was long to read for very little gain.

Heck of a lot better than MCU crap!

Not really the same kind of movies. MCU movies are 100% for childrens and are equivalent to fast food. They are just well known crap, fun from time to time to eat. The Joker is a movie of drama for adults just like Nolan's Batman is an epic war/drama.

By the way, The Joker has Little to do with The Joker, is about Arthur's life and traumas. So I desagree when people try to compare JF's performance to HL's performance since they are not based on the same character.

I agree. Can't really compare them IMO.

WTF are those bumps on his back? It freaked me out in the film too.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Broken shoulder?

Its like Colbert's ear... once you see it, you cannot unsee.

 

[Otomofan]

Dope picture....the all white face and green hair was my favorite look in the movie. Most unsettling.

Blood splatter optional.

Crazy how this movie is the most talked about movie of the yr and people love it. Endgame kinda made its impact and went on its merry way but this just has that staying power

 

[Otomofan]

Well, I'm known as a cranky old fart that just likes to piss in people's Cheerios.....but Endgame was NOT the "epic" that everyone said it was. That was the hype an adrenaline of seeing the "conclusion."

It was a flashy movie, but it wasn't very good. The plot was lame as hell. The time travel nonsense was stupid.

In the end it'll have the cultural impact of the current number two movie, Avatar. That was a big deal when it came out....within a year it was forgotten.

Time will tell if Joker has staying power, but it was certainly a more daring and interesting movie than Endgame.

 

[ironwez20]

Infinity war was miles better imo

The Devil was delivered by the Joker on Halloween.

This appears to answer one of the film's questions:

Joker’ Becomes The Most Profitable Comic Book Movie Ever

With $304.2 million in North America after five weeks in theaters, Joker’s new global cume is around $953 million. Presuming its 32% domestic/68% overseas split holds, then it will have a new global cume of around $957 million by tonight. That will be 15.3x its $62.5 million production budget, which will make the Todd Phillips-directed and Joaquin Phoenix-starring drama more profitable, in terms of budget versus global gross, than Jim Carrey’s The Mask ($351 million on a $23 million budget in 1994). The most profitable “big” comic book movies are Venom ($854 million on a $90 million budget), Batman ($411 million/$35 million), Deadpool ($783 million/$58 million), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ($200 million/$13.5 million), The Mask ($351 million/$23 million) and now Joker ($956 million/$62.5 million).

That means DC Films and Warner Bros.’ Joker is the most profitable comic book movie of all time. In a skewed way, Joker represents every studio’s dream, in that it’s a mid-budget, 2-D title that’s pulling top-tier blockbuster business without relying on China. That it happens to be an R-rated psychological drama is a bonus of sorts, as it’s the third-cheapest $900 million grosser of all time after Bohemian Rhapsody ($905 million on a $52 million budget) and The Lion King ($968 million on a $55 million budget in 1994). When it tops $1 billion worldwide in the next week or so, it’ll be the cheapest movie to do so, with a budget just under the $63 million spent by Jurassic Park back in 1993.

Up until last December, we hadn’t seen a $1 billion grosser not from Disney or Universal since Paramount’s Transformers: Age of Extinction in 2014. We’ve had two newbies in the last year, both comic book movies with huge boosts in China. But unlike Warner Bros.’ Aquaman ($1.148 billion worldwide with $298 million in China) and Spider-Man: Far from Home ($1.131 billion with $199 million in China), Joker will earn its $1 billion-plus gross without a 3-D boost and without China. When it passes The Dark Knight ($1.004 billion worldwide in 2008), it’ll be the biggest-grossing movie ever to not play in China). Yes, that’s assuming it doesn’t eventually get a Chinese play date. But without China, it should still flirt with a global cume over/under Aladdin ($1.0506 billion).


It’ll have around $312 million domestic by the end of Sunday night, with a domestic cume still likely to end up just over/under Guardians of the Galaxy ($333 million in 2014), Spider-Man: Homecoming ($334 million in 2017), Aquaman ($335 million in 2018) and Spider-Man 3 ($336 million in 2007). It’ll outgross Suicide Squad ($325 million in 2016) and sell more tickets than Man of Steel ($291 million in 2013/$322 million adjusted-for-inflation) by the end. If it passes Aquaman, Joker will be DC Comics’ fourth-biggest domestic grosser (behind Wonder Woman, The Dark Knight Rises and The Dark Knight) and (presuming a global total between $1.004 billion and $1.081 billion) their third-biggest global cume behind The Dark Knight Rises ($1.081 billion in 2012) and Aquaman.

It’s possible that continued Oscar season legs could push its global total past Toy Story 4 ($1.072 billion), but that’s a big “if.” The film will surely be Warner Bros.’ big Oscar flick. On one hand, its success, as a comic book movie about a tormented white dude who is “victimized by society” to the point of villainy may rub folks the wrong way. On the other hand, it’s a monumental success despite being an old school movie. For that matter, its over/under $500 million in profits make it a distinctly old-fashioned tentpole, providing Warner Bros. financial cover for the deluge of underperforming studio programmers (Blinded by the Light, The Kitchen, The Sun is Also A Star, The Goldfinch, Motherless Brooklyn, possibly The Good Liar and Just Mercy).

Click-baity and misleading article. Joker's profits still aren't greater than umpteen other movies, it's just in the Blair With/Paranormal Activity camp of having it's earnings be huge multipliers of what it actually cost to produce. But make no mistake studios still just care more about the *amount* of the profit than just the multiplier.

So Joker might have earned four or five times it's budget compared to EG making three times it's budget (or whatever the actual multipliers are.) It's overall profits were still lower.

There's a reason Disney never paid $4 billion for the Paranormal Activity franchise, lol.

Ok which profit would you rather have for yourself.

You sell one diamond for 1 billion that cost you 175 million to make.

You sell one diamond for 2.8 billion that cost you 450 million to make.

In both cases you have to pay a 40% finders fee

 

[Khev]

And now let's add the billions of dollars of Joaquin Joker merchandi--oh wait nevermind, lol.

(Wait's for the inevitable "oh so Khev and jye say that box office = quality" even though that isn't remotely what was being discussed...)

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Hey, Jye, Joker will surpass TDK, thus making it the most successful movie to have the Joker in it. (Without China, R rated, and no 3D)

RIP Ledger Joker.
