Good news for fans who missed that nihilistic abyss of a filmgoing experiencescreening the Joker in theatersand god help those who just want to watch it all over again: Joker is already out on Blu-ray and DVD and available to rent and stream on Amazon.
For all its dreary, angsty, stair-dancing emptiness, the film has broken $1 billion in box office revenue, making it the most commercially successful rated-R movie of all time. (Sorry, Deadpool.) But the film was also a critical success, leading the 2019 Oscar race with 11 total nominations. And director Todd Phillips is already rumored to be in conversations with Warner Bros. executives on a sequel to the film. In short: Joker is killing it.
If sequels are made, Joaquin Phoenix , who won the Oscar for Best Actor, would reprise the iconic role taken up by several actors , one of whom, Heath Ledger, posthumously received his own Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the part in 2009.
The film released on Blu-ray and DVD in January and, predictably, became the top seller .
For those wanting to catch the film before the awards this weekend, you can rent it on Amazon for $3.99. The abyss awaits.
