Absolutely deserved. The movie is fantastic and Joaquin Phoenix' acting is superb. It is this generation's Silence of the Lambs or American Psycho.

Well that's a pleasant surprise. Wasn't sure if the more artsy film style and depressing subject matter would be too niche.

This is awesome and all but man...I was really hoping for that 100+ million opening (heck, Deadpool did it without and trash talk from the media). Perhaps the media did come into play with this for fuck's sake. It's amazing it did this well at all. But hey, it already made its money back in one week so all is well. This should shut the media up for a bit.

Hopefully it doesn't fall off too much next week and makes a nice $500 million altogether.

The best advertisement this movie could get was the tears of the SJWs and the woke media bashing it.

Yeah, it's a bit weird. At least Joker has appeared in a lot of video games. The last Box Office article on here was about Downton Abbey. lmao

@mZuzek - Would you complain if it were box office numbers from your one and only Disney/Marvel?
