"Joker," the gruesome R-rated film about the origins of the Batman villain, had a big second weekend topping the box office with an estimated $55 million in North America.The film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix as a troubled man who turns into a killer clown, shattered records last weekend when it opened to $96 million — the record for the highest-grossing debut in the history of October.
The film won the Venice Film Festival's top prize and critics have raved about Phoenix's performance, which has led to Oscar talk."This second weekend hold indicates more than just comic book fans are showing up," Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at Boxoffice.com, told CNN Business."It's a movie with multiple creative elements resonating with those craving a grittier, wholly character-driven film set in a comic book world.

StephanieHazen And you are probably upset with this because it didn't give you the mass shooting you had kept preaching would happen as a result of this movie.

FAKE NEWS
A film that resonates long after the final credits. It exposes the unspoken anger, the dark undercurrents plaguing American society. A film worthy of a second glance, but more importantly a feature that dares viewers to examine its message.
Promotes gun shootings. Promotes sick violence. Shame on liberal Hollywood.
Such a great, moving film.
Great movie and great actor
