'Joker' jumped 43% on Tuesday and passed $300 million worldwide as audiences are realizing the DC Films flick isn't nearly as extreme or as dangerous as they've been told.
earned another $13.9 million yesterday, a record for a Tuesday gross in October and a huge jump of 43% from its $9.702 million Monday gross. That brings its five-day total to $119.804 million domestic. Presuming the film has maintained the 38.7/61.3 domestic/overseas split that it had on Sunday, then it has earned around $310 million worldwide.
, but that only means it must be Tuesday. None of the violence or grotesque content found in Todd Phillips’ R-ratedis any more grisly or shocking than anything we see in the five season of Fox’s “aired during primetime”. That ridiculously violent show featured all manner of innocent people getting wantonly slaughtered in all manner of over-the-top comic book carnage. Likealso tended to fill the screen with sympathetic characters of color.
Arthur is not cruel or vindictive, handsome when he puts in the effort and has no hints of racism or sexism. The violence, both in onscreen gore and choice of victims, closer in content to bothered to have at least one victim who arguably didn’t deserve it. Thisis both a commercial consideration and an acknowledgment of current social mores. To the extent that is “dangerous,” it is in fashioning Arthur into the kind of “nice guy” who arguably resembles how certain demographics see themselves.
You can feel the calculation at work to make sure that the film can’t be declared to be sexist, racist or otherwise inflammatory in our current “depiction=endorsement” clickbait media era . Offering a Joker who only kills the rude and isn’t bigoted makes him more of an idealistic protagonist for those who might seem themselves reflected.
