A psychotic clown beat out the Addams Family and two Will Smiths at the box office this weekend. "Joker," the gruesome R-rated film about the origins of the Batman villain, had a big second weekend topping the box office with an estimated $55 million in North America. The film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix as a troubled man who turns into a killer clown, shattered records last weekend when it opened to $96 million — the record for the highest-grossing debut in the history of October. The film's controversial depiction of violence didn't stop audiences from seeing it during its opening weekend, and it appears the buzz has not worn off.
