Looks like the TIFF reactions are better than Venice.

JOKER is phenomenal. Joaquin Phoenix’s performance is next level. No other performance this year will be able to top this one. There is so much to digest with this film too including its exploration of humanity & mental illness. A Flawless Masterpiece. #JokerMovie #Joker

JOKER is- and I cannot stress this enough- a literal masterpiece. A movie that perfectly captures an era and devolves into complete, affecting madness. Joaquin has never been better. Phoenix rising... to the top of the Oscar race?? Who knew Todd Phillips had this in him? Wow.

Never the front runner to win anything? did you forget that it won

#Joker is now tracking for a $90M opening, which would be an October record. If it plays like LOGAN (2.5x multiplier) or VENOM (2.6x), it's probably looking at around $225M-plus domestically.All in, WB probably only needs $190M worldwide to turn a profit on the $55M movie
