Todd Phillips' Joker movie has reached yet another epic milestone.
The Joaquin Phoenix-led film is now the most profitable comic book movie ever made. Yes, you read that correct.
And what that means is that the movie has grossed much more at the international box office compared to its production budget.

According to Forbes, within five weeks of its release, the movie has made $304.2 million in North America and $953 million worldwide. The movie had a $62.5 million budget, meaning that it has grossed 15.3x times more than its initial investment. Not bad at all.
Phoenix's Joker has already surpassed big blockbusters like Venom, which earned $854 million with a $90 million budget in 2018, and Batman, which grossed $411 million in 1989 with a $35 million investment.
This also means that Joker is the third-cheapest movie with a $900 million income, with only Rami Malek's Bohemian Rhapsody ($52 million budget) and The Lion King from 1994 ($55 million budget) ahead of it.

If it manages to surpass Aquaman's domestic income ($335.1 million), Joker will become DC Comics' fourth-highest earning movie in North America, with Wonder Woman, The Dark Knight Rises and The Dark Knight only at the front.
And if it grosses between $1.004 billion and $1.081 billion across the world, Joker will become DC Comics' third-biggest global movie – just behind The Dark Knight Rises ($1.081 billion) and Aquaman ($1.148 billion).
Joker is in cinemas now.
