With strong reviews and a current gross of over $606 million worldwide ($213.8M domestic; $392.9M foreign) within two weeks of release, Warner Bros.' Joker is a bonafide blockbuster and is on track to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all-time as well as one of the highest-grossing DC films ever.
As the film looks to continue its stellar run this weekend with an estimated $25 million third frame, director Todd Phillips has shared even more behind-the-scenes photos from the Joaquin Phoenix-starrer, highlighting some key moments from the movie.

Forever alone in a crowd, Arthur Fleck seeks connection. Yet, as he trods the sooted Gotham City streets and rides the graffitied mass transit rails of a hostile town teeming with division and dissatisfaction, Arthur wears two masks. One, he paints on for his day job as a clown. The other he can never remove; it’s the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel he’s a part of the world around him, and not the misunderstood man whom life is repeatedly beating down. Fatherless, Arthur has a fragile mother, arguably his best friend, who nicknamed him Happy, a moniker that’s fostered in Arthur a smile that hides the heartache beneath. But, when bullied by teens on the streets, taunted by suits on the subway, or simply teased by his fellow clowns at work, this social outlier only becomes even more out of sync with everyone around him.
