Joker is the seventh movie, and first that’s not from Disney or Marvel, to cross the billion mark in 2019. It’s the fourth Warner Bros. movie overall, following Aquaman, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises to do so.

With a $62.5 million budget, it’s become one of the most profitable movies of all time.
