Warner Bros’<\/a> first R-rated animated feature film,“Batman: The Killing Joke,”<\/a> took in a sizable haul during its special two-night theatrical run this week, grossing $3.8 million in ticket sales,according to Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the film’s controversial subject matter<\/a>, it was the biggest exclusive release from Fathom Events, which usually focuses on live-streaming for theater chains. 1325 locations showed “The Killing Joke” on Monday night, raking in an average of $2,396 per site, with 810 theaters earning about $800,000 total on Tuesday. Monday night’s success even managed to supplant “Star Trek: Beyond,”<\/a> which earned about $1,592 per theater.<\/p>\n

With Kevin Conroy<\/a> and Mark Hamill<\/a> reprising their respective animated roles as Batman and the Joker, “The Killing Joke” is based on the 1988 graphic novel written by Alan Moore<\/a> with art by\u00a0Brian Bolland<\/a>, and focuses on the origins of the Dark Knight’s arch-nemesis while laying the groundwork for Barbara Gordon’s later transformation into Oracle following a horrific attack from the Clown Prince of Crime.<\/p>\n

For those who missed the theater run, “Batman: The Killing Joke” is available on VOD now, and will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on August 2.<\/p>\n
