Todd Philips' "Joker" has knocked-off Tim Miller's "Deadpool" to claim the title of the highest-earning R-Rated movie. Joaquin Phoenix starrer has made a global box-office of $788.1 million, surpassing Deadpool's $782.6 million to get to the top spot.
Ryan Reynolds, always the first one with a joke, took to his Twitter account to congratulate the film and everyone involved in his way. The cheeky poster reads "You Mother...." and references a bunch of other R-Rated movies with a successful Box-office revenue.

Directed by Todd Philips and co-written by Scott Silver and Todd Philips, "Joker" stars Joaquin Phoenix in an original standalone origin story of the iconic villain not seen before on the big screen, it's a gritty character study of Arthur Fleck, a man disregarded by society, and a broader cautionary tale.
