The anti-hero flick, starring Joaquin Phoenix in its title role, has already broken the record as the top-grossing R-fated film of all time, pulling in $934 million and surpassing Deadpool's $783 million. This includes $299.6 million in domestic box office sales and $634.4 million internationally. So far, the film is also the highest-gross Warner Bros. release of all time in 10 different markets and has been the top film in Europe for the past 5 weeks.
