Early Joker Box Office Projections Tracking For Bigger Opening Than Aquaman

Quote:

Early box office projections for Joker indicate it will have a higher opening weekend than Aquaman. When Joker was first announced, many viewers raised skeptical eyebrows, but over the past several months, the tune surrounding director Todd Phillips' origin movie has changed. Thanks in large part to a teaser trailer that evoked Martin Scorsese classics such as Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy, Joker is now one of the most anticipated titles of the fall season and looks to be a showcase for star Joaquin Phoenix.
Warner Bros. is clearly confident in what they have, as evidenced by their decision to screen Joker at some of the various fall film festivals this year. Some believe Joker will have what it takes to be a legitimate Oscar contender, and it also looks like it's going to be a substantial commercial draw when it open to the general public later this year.

Catching up! I'm surprised that it made two big film festivals. It really makes me interested about the content of the movie, especially with all this high praise. I'm wondering if it'll be able to make Aquaman numbers since that seems to be the comparison. I guess we'll see.

Thanks for all the postings here!
