Joker'
Warner Bros. said Sunday that "Joker" grossed an estimated $93.5 million in ticket sales from 4,374 screens in North America. The previous October record-holder was the Spider-Man spinoff "Venom" which opened to $80 million last year. Internationally, "Joker" earned $140.5 million from 73 markets, resulting in a stunning $234 million global debut.
In the landscape of R-rated comic book films, "Joker" is nestled between "Deadpool" and its sequel, both of which opened over $125 million, and "Logan," which launched with $88.4 million.
"Joker" was the only new wide release this weekend, which is down from last year when both "Venom" and "A Star is Born" opened. Holdovers populated the top 10: The more family friendly "Abominable" landed in second place with $12 million in its second weekend and "Downton Abbey"
took third in its third weekend with $8 million.
And in limited release, Pedro Almodóvar's critically acclaimed "Pain and Glory" launched on four screens to a solid $160,087. Less fortunate was the Natalie Portman-led astronaut drama "Lucy in the Sky" which earned only $55,000 from 37 theaters resulting in a dismal $1,500 per screen average.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1."Joker," $93.5 million ($140.5 million international).
2."Abominable," $12 million ($24.6 million international).
