This isn't just any ol' R-rated October release, after all.
The average outcome from these various examples would be $344 million, a very strong result for a $55 million budgeted R-rated release. Again, these are just preliminary figures, based on the parameters established by the top four grossing October releases from the past 6 years - I'll make adjustments in a moment.Īny of those outcomes spells success for Joker, since anything north of about $190+/- million is profit territory. The midrange multiplier of 2.6x results in a possible grand total of $156 million stateside.Īssuming a pure 50/50 split between domestic and international box office, the above figures would translate into worldwide totals of $240 million on the low end, $480 million on the high end, and $312 million for the midrange outcome. The more outrageously high result of 4+x final multiplier would give it $240+ million domestically. If Joker opened at $60 million and played on the lowest end of final multipliers, it would finish with approximately $120+ million in North America.
I think that's a reasonable starting set of potential outcomes to consider for Joker, before we start further adjusting for factors like branding, competition in the marketplace, and current buzz. If we adjust Gravity and The Martian for inflation, then they give us a basement of roughly $60 million, while Venom and Halloween suggest a ceiling in the range of $78 million.
