DC's "Joker" achieved gratifying results and surpassed "Venom" to become the best debut movie in October

DC's R-rated blockbuster, the Venice Golden Lion Award winner "Joker", was officially released in American theaters on October 4, and raked in $93.5 million at the box office in its first week, easily surpassing the previous "Venom" (80.25 million U.S. dollars), becoming the best-performing October movie debut in American film history.

Including the $140.5 million in foreign markets, "Joker" has delivered a first-weekend answer of $234 million. This is also the fourth-best result among all R-rated films. Now people's attention will turn to how "Joker" will perform in the end this week.

The audience evaluation of "Joker" on the first day of its release has also been released. The average score on CinemaScore is "B+" (the average score for viewers under 35 is "A-"); the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes remains at 70% (audience score 90%), and the score of "Joker" on IMDb is still an amazing 9.1 points. Among the audiences in the opening weekend, men accounted for 64%, and more than two-thirds of the audience were under 35 years old.

Although Joker won the Venice Golden Lion Award last month and was recognized by industry insiders, it has been criticized by the public since last week. Many people think that the film is irresponsible and induces crime, and the music used in it is also accused of being tainted... In response, the director of Joker once said that these people have not really watched the film and that the box office will naturally slap them in the face.

"Joker" has been released in theaters in many parts of the world on October 4, but there is no news of its introduction in China yet.
