Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is laughing and dancing his way back to the top of the worldwide box office with a total haul now well past $543.9 million. Plus, director Todd Phillips has shared new BTS photos.

Joker, Warner Bros.' latest DC Comics adaptation, is laughing and dancing his way back to the top of the box office, earning a spectacular $55 million in its second full week on release (-42.8%) and taking its domestic total to $192.7 million. Internationally, the Todd Phillips-directed supervillain origin story grossed another $125.7 million, bringing its overseas total to $351.2 million.



Overall, the Joaquin Phoenix-starrer has grossed over $543.9 million after just ten days, and is well on track for a massive - likely north of $800M - collection at the end of its box office run later this year.



As for the new releases, MGM's The Addams Family exceeded expectations with $30.3 million domestically while Ang Lee's über-ambitious Gemini Man disappointed with $20.5 million in a third place launch. The Will Smith-starrer, however, did fare a little better overseas taking in $39 million to bring its opening worldwide total to $59.5 million, although it'll still be an uphill battle to recoup its estimated $138 million production budget.
