With a global tally of $165 million so far, Joker 2 is looking to tap out with a domestic total around $57 million. The first Joker — which earned $39.3 million on its first Friday alone in 2019 — danced its way to $335 million at the domestic box office and finished its run with $1.06 billion worldwide, making it the first R-rated movie to cross the milestone and the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever until Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine took the No. 1 spot over the summer.

Terrifier 3 slashed its way to the top spot with an estimated $18.3 million from about 2,500 theaters, while DreamWorks’ animated movie The Wild Robot added another $13.5 million to its $148 million global haul to take the No. 2 spot in its third weekend. Joker 2, in its second weekend, dropped to third place with an estimated $7 million from 4,100 theaters.
