LOS ANGELES, - Put on a happy face: In its fourth weekend in theaters, Warner Bros.’ “Joker” returned to the top of domestic box office charts, narrowly defeating Disney’s “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.”
The surprise win highlights the impressive endurance of “Joker,” which is only the third movie this year — following Universal’s “Glass” and Disney’s “Avengers: Endgame” — to secure in first place during three weekends. “Joker” recently became the most successful R-rated movie in history, collecting $849 million worldwide. Joaquin Phoenix’s gritty take on Batman’s infamous nemesis has generated $277 million in North America and $571 million at the international box office.
Sony’s R-rated action drama “Black and Blue” launched at No. 6 with $8 million from 2,062 theaters. Directed by Deon Taylor, the $12 million film follows a rookie cop who inadvertently captures the murder of a young drug dealer on her body cam. Another awards contender that continues to impress is Neon’s “Parasite,” a dark social satire from director Bong Joon ho. In its third frame, “Parasite” made $1.8 million from just 189 theaters, averaging a strong $14,107 per location. To date, the movie has earned $4.1 million in North America.

Rubbish and disgusting
It's what Saint Joaquin of the Pheonix deserves. 👏🏽🤡
Awesome movie! Saw it twice and want to see it again. About time Hollywood makes a movie again. Bored with the SJW narrative in all the Disney flicks.
Bertokamus Phoenix gets the Oscar. Hands down!
Unbelievable acting!!
They're making villains look like good guys and people eat it up.
Not that good of a movie.
