Joker's run just gets more and more insane. A 43% drop 2nd weekend domestic, which is probably a slight overestimate as well. That's the best ever for a comic book movie.

The international hold is even more insane, with just a 32% drop in the same markets and strong openings in France and Germany as well. UK hold is a crazy -20%.

This is a zeitgeist movie, everyone's talking about it. Could well be on for $1b if legs stay this good. An R-rated movie with no action, not releasing in China, only a $60m budget. Simply bonkers, in a year of Aladdin and Endgame this may end up the most impressive box office run. $544m is the total after the second weekend.
Funny what happens when you make a good movie.  

Plus DC fans are pretty starved for a good movie.  :P
