The film about the psychotic clown tops the box office for the second straight week with an estimated $55 million in North America
"Joker," the gruesome R-rated film about the origins of the Batman villain, had a big second weekend topping the box office with an estimated $55 million in North America.The film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix as a troubled man who turns into a killer clown, shattered records last weekend when it opened to $96 million — the record for the highest-grossing debut in the history of October.
The film won the Venice Film Festival's top prize and critics have raved about Phoenix's performance, which has led to Oscar talk."This second weekend hold indicates more than just comic book fans are showing up," Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at Boxoffice.com, told CNN Business."It's a movie with multiple creative elements resonating with those craving a grittier, wholly character-driven film set in a comic book world.
