Joker Was a Major Hit at the Box Office
Joker is a crime thriller movie starring many top-of-the-order actors like Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, Robert De Niro as Murray, and others. In the movie, the scene is set in 1981, where Arthur Fleck tries to pursue his career being a clown, which he miserably fails at, as he brings a gun to an occasion and gets fired for it.

The movie was released on August 2019 and was declared one of the best movies of the year.
The movie was a major success at the box office, as with a mere budget of $55 million, the movie amassed a total of over $1 billion after its release worldwide. The movie was highly rated by everyone who watched it and also had a high IMDb rating of 8.4/10 which proves its value as one of the best. The movie won a lot of awards including, two Academy Awards, a BAFTA, Critics Choice Awards, a Golden Globe, the Grammys, and even a Guinness World Record.
