You know its not the most profitable comic book movie...right?
Scott Mendleson is not a useful source of boxoffice info. He is a living clickbait farm. Makes stuff up for clicks (like this).

I'll keep saying it if they want to pull it off again they need to make an Harley Quinn movie and have her be an intern psychiatrist at Arkham.
All of the critical hot takes on here about the Joker movie from people that haven't even watched the movie are hilarious in hindsight.
I hope this serves as a jumping point for studios to take risks on lower budget movies from now on.
The film industry is gonna to have, and currently kinda does have, a huge issue with oversaturation, but the amount of quality, thoughtful films that will come out of a resurgence in lower budgeted affairs will be great to behold.
Like, Joker got a lot of prestige being based on one of the most popular characters in media, but in action it's practically an art house film about mental Illness. It's not perfect, but I hope it can serve as the "missing link" between profitable made-for-mass-appeal movies and profitable risk taking art films.
Nothing wrong with many mass appeal films, I just want more experimental stuff in the limelight.

Which is why people who shit on a movie based on leaks will always look like clowns 🤡
Endgame is one for example that was far more profitable.
Scott Mendleson isn't a source of anything.
Endgame was more profitable, Mendleson's math doesn't really add up at all.
Too early to call this iconic? No, Im calling it iconic. I am seeing it tonight.
That is not what profit means though, Mendleson just used it because its a better buzzword for his clickbait.
"a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something. "
Well deserved. Despite so many outlets coming off as hoping for something negative action to come from this movie, nothing happened. People went and saw a comic book movie and that was that.
Exactly. And by that defintion Joker is not the most profitable comic book movie.
Profit and ROI are not the same thing.
He's clearly using a multiplier system, which checks out.
If you don't like that system that's fine but his math is correct.
Yep it's iconic. So much so that Bronx (where the actual steps are located) residents are pissed at all the movie tourists are flocking there

Hope you enjoy the movie.
No, it doesn't. His math is wrong for determining profitability.
Yep.
Movie is so incredibly vague with its messaging and purpose that people are projecting what ever they want onto it.
The only time the movie has any consistent thesis is when Fleck makes an offensive joke and an actual pearl clutching woman say thats offensive which he responds COMEDY IS SUBJECTIVE.
We get it Todd, feminist leftist sjws murdered comedy and guillotined all comedians.
You can like and love the movie but you can't deny the director is a complete jackass.
No one denies the math.... what it isn't is actually how you determine most profitable. If I made a movie for 5 bucks and made a profit of 50k.... I'd look like an asshole to claim I made the most profitable movie of all time.
No...it doesn't. ROI and Profit are not the same thing. At all.
Are you serious? ROI is not how profit is determined.
Using Mendleson's math a $1 budgeted movie that made $10,000 would be the most profitable movie of all time.
How is his math wrong? 15.3 times 364 million would be the number that Endgame needs to beat Joker.
That is not profit. That math has nothing to do with calculating profitability.
Profit:
"a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something"
Man do I hate the movie, but man do I love rejoicing in it's success.
the jokah is back baaaaaaabyyy
the jokah is back baaaaaaabyyy
Exactly. That is the point. That is *NOT* what Mendleson's math is calculating.
Using "Amount Earned - Amount Spent" does not result in Joker being the most profitable.
Yeah profit = $ so Endgame wins with $2b in profit. He's using profitable as best budget to gross ratio and that's not correct. It's like saying The Blair Witch Project is the most profitable movie of all time. That's not accurate, but it does have the best budget to gross ratio of all time.
