Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, continues to break box office records in its second weekend. Dropping only 43% from last weekend, it earned an additional $55 million for a two-week total of $192.7 million, making it the biggest second weekend ever for a film in October, a record previously held by Gravity with $43.2 million in 2013. Last weekend, the film broke the October opening weekend record set last year by Venom, and also marked a career-best opening for director Todd Phillips, and was Joaquin Phoenix's biggest opening weekend ever.
Dropping two spots to fourth place was the animated film Abominable, which earned an additional $6.2 million for a three-week total of $48 million.
Rounding out the top five was Downton Abbey, which dropped two spots, but took in another $4.9 million for a four-week total of $82.7 million. The movie has done so well that a sequel is already being planned. Click here to see our Downton Abbey filming locations photo gallery. ~May Wong
