On Friday, DC’s Joker has crossed $1 billion in global ticket sales and is the first R-rated movie to do so.
Joker is also the biggest grossing movie ever (in raw unadjusted grosses) to never play in China.
As per Hollywood Reporter, Joker is the fourth DC title to cross $1 billion, after Aquaman ($1.15 billion), The Dark Knight Rises ($1.084 billion) and The Dark Knight ($1.005 billion), without any adjustments for inflation.
The movie is about Batman’s arch-nemesis Joker, a mentally-ill loner who finds fame through a random violent act.
The movie released in October and gained warm reviews everywhere.
