'Joker' kept winning at the box office.
The R-rated comic book villain origin story had a phenomenal second weekend at the box office, topping the charts once more over newcomers such as the animated"The Addams Family" and the Will Smith action pic"Gemini Man."
For comic book films, which are often front-loaded and regularly see second weekend falls that are over 50%, it's a notably small dip. It's also a slightly lower drop than"Wonder Woman" and"Black Panther" — both of which had higher initial openings and went on to have long lives in theaters. "It shows that content wins. A great movie will rise up above all the noise over whatever controversy or security concerns there were," he added."You're totally left out of the water cooler conversation if you haven't seen 'Joker.'"
United Artists Releasing distributed the film from MGM and BRON Creative that features the voices of Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron and Bette Midler."The Addams Family" defied middling reviews and benefited from a marketplace with relatively few family friendly options in theaters right now, aside from"Abominable" which is now in its third weekend.
"Gemini Man" was not a cheap endeavor either. The film from Paramount and Skydance cost a reported $140 million to make after rebates and will have a difficult time breaking even.
