, which took $411.5 million, $1 billion, and $746.8 million in total global receipts, respectively, and with Rotten Tomato scores of 71% ,94%, and 27%, respectively. What this means is the Joker has been in multiple blockbusters over several decades, in very different portrayals, and with variety of critical receptions.

This would result in a worldwide cume of $475+ million. Oscar buzz will boost all of those figures higher, as will critical acclaim and an audience score of A-, A, or A+.

I don't even hesitate to say Phoenix is the instant frontrunner for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, and I have zero doubt he will be nominated for his performance. My expectation is that he will win, because it's the best performance I've seen from an actor all year, and it's hard to imagine another performance with such nuanced intensity and power.
