Joker has become the most profitable comic book movie of all time.
Directed by Todd Philip, the film has made US$957 million globally since its release five weeks ago.
Forbes estimates that will equate to the film making 15.3 times the money of its US$62.5 million production budget.
If that's the case, Joker will smash the record currently held by Deadpool, which made US$783 million off a US$58 million budget.
This figure is made even more impressive given than Joker has not been released in China, a potentially enormous box office market.
Joker already holds the record for most profitable R-rated film ever made.
The new record comes amid increasing Oscar speculation for Joker’s leading man, Joaquin Phoenix, and further discussion around a possible sequel.
