Joker (2019) served as the most profitable R-rated DC film

The 2019 film Joker follows Arthur Fleck’s life in a tumultuous version of Batman’s birthplace. Arthur navigates the agony of economic class disparity in the heart of Gotham, which triggered his anarchist thought with the representation of revolution. At the same time, he follows his life as a stand-up comic.

Joker grossed approximately $1.074 billion on a $50-70 million budget. As a result, Joker became one of the most profitable DC films and comic-based films ever made in R-rated form in 2019.

Joker also wrought its magic in India, despite the fact that the film was only released in English. In India, the film grossed 22.51 crore at the box office, making it one of the year’s most successful films. The film followed a stand-alone and completely stand-alone depiction of the Joker, which differed from the DCEU connection. This establishes a beneficial aspect in terms of both character and box office.
