Trans - Making a lot at the box office is a better indication of the quality of Joker. Star Wars is a long-running franchise that makes money just for existing even though many of the individual films have sucked ass. And Disney owns it now and marketed the shit out of it, raising its box office. Joker is a hit because it's one of the best films of the 2010s.

Yeah, DC isn't exactly know for good marketing. In reality its the opposite, they suck at it.

This is a world wide mega hit because of word of mouth, not marketing.

Since popularity doesn't really mean it's a great film as far as the theatrical aspects. My favorite last big blockbuster was two years ago, The Shape of Water. It had mystery, intrigue, suspense, espionage, mayhem, sci-fi at it's best. Great acting from the mute played by Sally Hawkins and her opposite, the evil Michael Shannon. I always use IMDB as a base for whether to see a movie at the theater, wait to rent, watch on HBO, or don't bother. I found 7.0 or higher score is required to at least go to the theater.

The Shape of Water had 324,000 votes and a rating of 7.3 out of 10. Joker has 374,000 votes and a rating of 8.9. I very seldom see ratings in the 8's, to give you an idea, Forest Gump was 8.8 and The Godfather 9.2.

Double win for them, they usually spend six figures marketing.

What? Six figures is 999,999 or less. I guarantee you they spend way way way way more than that on marketing.

They don't include it in the production budget numbers. I've heard that it's usually between fifty percent to being equal what they spend on production alone. And why they aren't as profitable as the inflated numbers would show
