https://collider.com The latest movie news, rumors, and breaking updates on the top movies you want to watch. Mon, 25 Dec 2023 23:45:51 GMT en-US hourly 60 For the last two years, Todd Phillips has been pretty excited about the sequel to his critically acclaimed Joaquin Phoenix-led Joker, and his social media feed backs that up! Keeping up with his ways, in his new holiday post, the writer-director has given fans a new look at Arthur Fleck in Arkham Asylum—which is likely where he’ll fall in love with his psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel, better known as Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga), setting the stage for Joker: Folie à Deux. While the first image in the post gives us a peek at Arthur Fleck locked behind bars, the second image sets a very different tone, with Gaga’s Harley Quinn looking adoringly at the Joker. Although the exact plot details have been kept under wraps, the second installment of Phillips’ Joker is expected to traditionally follow the duo’s romance and cruel partnership.

Warner Bros.’ musical re-imagining of The Color Purple debuted on Monday alongside director Michael Mann’s biopic Ferrari, and George Clooney’s latest film as director, the period drama The Boys in the Boat. Each of these movies will jostle for space in a marketplace dominated by multiple new releases this week.

While this week’s new release, the superhero sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, topped the global chart with last week's Wonka coming in second, India’s Telugu-language action-thriller Salaar: Part 1 — Ceasefire faced off against the Hindi-language comedy-drama, Dunki. Starring Prabhas, who remains best known for his two Baahubali films, Salaar out-performed Dunki, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s third film of the year, both in India and worldwide.

Both films were shot simultaneously across more than 150 days by director Zack Snyder, and the idea is for Netflix to expand the movies into a fresh IP, following in the footsteps of the director’s debut film for the streamer, Army of the Dead.

Domestically the film took in $28.1 million over the three-day weekend, while it took another $80.1 million overseas. This brings the global opening weekend total to $108.2 million.

The latest adventure from the studio that created Despicable Me, Migration, follows a family of mallards wanting to find a new home. While the film may have hoped to spread its wings during the holiday season, the animated movie faces tough competition at the box office. $12 million out of Migration's debut box office haul came from the domestic box office, with the remaining $22 million originating from international territories.

The film has now grossed $40 million domestically, which puts it at the number six spot on the list of highest-grossing live-action foreign-language films in North America, ahead of Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, which made $37 million domestically back in 2006.

The prequel to The Hunger Games garnered another $3.15 million over three days and an estimated $4.3 million across four days in North America this weekend, elevating the film's domestic total to $153.6 million. Internationally, the movie earned an additional $3.9 million in 84 territories this weekend, increasing its overseas total to approximately $162 million.
