Joker is finally the DC Comics villain who beat the Justice League. Todd Phillips’s R-rated Joker movie has outgrossed the 2017 blockbuster Justice League movie at the global box office. Justice League ended its global box office run with a $659 million gross. Joker is expected to cross $700 million worldwide later today, Man of Steel, and soon It. Domestically, Joker is likely to overtake Justice League’s domestic total climbed to $229 million. Joker’s domestic total is currently $218 million and still rising. The film has a shot at becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time if it continues with the momentum it has now.

Joker passed the $200 million mark at the domestic box office in 11 days. The film set a new record in its second weekend at the box office, earning $55 million to top the box office charts again, blowing past more conservative projections that had pegged for around $40 million. That’s the biggest second weekend for a film in October in box office history, surpassing Gravity’s $43.1 million in 2013.
