Box: Joaquin Phoenix is the only big screen Joker who doesn't have an Oscar.

1. Joker - $85m / $85m / $200m
2. Abominable - $14m / $40.5m / $75m
3. Downton Abbey - $8m / $73m / $90m
4. Hustlers - $7m / $92m / $108m
5. It: Chapter 2 - $5m / $202m / $212m
**Ad Astra - $5m / $44m / $55m
7. Judy - $4.5m / $9m / $25m
8. Rambo: Last Blood - $4m / $40.5m / $48m

The last two movies in the top 10 will probably struggle to do a million. There's a chance The Lion King will still be in the top 10, which is crazy. Joker arrives after a month or so of controversies. There are numerous $100m+ predictions, but I've always thought this was doing numbers very similar to Venom last year. Probably a higher start, lower finish. Judy expands to nearly 1,500 locations after a very strong start last weekend. Opening in limited is the terribly reviewed Lucy in the Sky, with Natalie Portman and Jon Hamm.
