I wouldn't call a movie that is expected to have somewhere close to a $100M opening a sleeper hit. I think the fact that it is a prestige movie is the bigger surprise.Just seen that Joker has won the Golden Lion award at the Venice Festival. Is this really going to be that much of a sleeper hit (maybe I just wasn’t paying attention originally)?
It's nice to see that DC has finally gotten themselves out of the hole they dug two years ago.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I guarantee that WB is gonna do everything in their power to get Phoenix aboard for Round 2.
It’s incredible it was able to get to $1B without a China release.
