Box office mojo has been gutted by amazon/ imdb pro. Most interesting data has either been put behing imdb pro paywall (like looking at actors/ directors/ studios) or just deleted (theatre counts, ranking entries below #200). The UI is way worse and the website is quite broken right now, for example most of the weekend and month records are just plain wrong.

So yeah, BOM is basically dead. If y'all wanna just peruse box office number then The Numbers - Where Data and the Movie Business Meet is the place to go now, although its missing a few things that old BOM had, and its quite as nice to use. Ah well.

Joker is the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time! Amazing! Also, according to deadline's estimates, its going to be in the top 10 most profitable films of all time as well, with as much as $500m profit for Warner Bros. Super amazing!

I'm shocked it didn't review well. Must've been something controversial in it I guess

Yeah.  
I looked at a few of the bad reviews.  Complaints of how bloody the movie is, some of them barely even say anything.

Wow that really sucks. I've been following boxofficemojo for almost exactly 10 years.

I remember looking at it in 7th grade, so I have been following somewhere around 10 years too.

I thought it looked 50 50 in the trailers. Pleasantly surprised!

First time I've looked at Boxofficemojo in the past few weeks.
Wow.  It's ridiculously bad.

Really solidifies the end of an era.  

Hopefully The Numbers catches on.   And either gets good updates or, BOM backs down from being dumb.

The Numbers already are, immediately picking up the slack with theatre counts. They're now doing a weekly report on theatre counts for all movies, so we aren't losing that information!

Saw the new terminator. It was really good. Glad to see that the franchise is back, although I will admit I liked salvation.

Joker is the 4th biggest DC movie. 

And not terribly far from second place.  About 150m.

Unfotunately its bombing hard so who knows if there'll be any more of these films.

The Batman brand is so incredibly strong at the box office. Joker may well overtake the Dark Knight films and give Aquaman a run for its money at the rate its going.

The Numbers has some graphing stuff

Optimistically, there's a small chance Joker tops Aquaman domestically.  Pessimistically, it'll fall below Batman v Superman.

Pretty impressive how well Joker is doing internationally though.  It's beaten all of the Dark Knight movies.  I think Aquaman is the only DC movie above it there.

We thinking Terminator will have an ok drop for its second weekend?

I don't remember which website was talking about its performance but one thing seemingly hurting it is just how bad the last terminator was. If that is the case, the drop might be relatively small.
