Joker earned $5.4 million from four territories since opening in international markets on Wednesday, THR reports. Warner Bros.’ prequel centered around the infamous Batman villain won its highest amount in Korea, released during a public holiday, where Joker scored $2.25 million. The Todd Phillips-directed drama opened with $846,000 in Indonesia and won another $170,000 in Belgium. Joker will be screened in a total of 73 markets by the end of the weekend following Thursday rollsout in Hong Kong, Italy and Russia on. In North America, where Joker is now playing, the DC Comics-inspired film is expected to score a record-breaking opening weekend projected to surpass $80 million.

Venom currently holds the record October opening at $80.3m, beating out 2013’s George Clooney and Sandra Bullock starrer Gravity when the PG-13 Spider-Man spinoff swung into theaters a year ago. Two weeks later, the Jamie Lee Curtis-led Halloween scored the second-best October opening with $76.2m.
