Warner Bros’ supervillain movie Joker has become the highest-grossing R-rated film ever at the worldwide box office.

The film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix as a troubled man who turns into a killer clown, has made roughly $788 million at the worldwide box office, Warner Bros. confirmed on Friday. That is enough to eclipse the record set by "Deadpool," which made $783 million globally when it came out in 2016.

The movie has been breaking records ever since it released earlier this month.

Before its official release, the movie was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. It had also received an eight-minute standing ovation at its premiere in the Italian city.
