Such is the popularity of the movie right now that experts estimate Joker to exceed $900m.
People loved the movie so much that they have even started turning the places featured in it, as tourist hotspots.
One of the most iconic scenes from the movie features the complete transformation of Arthur Fleck into the Joker, and him embracing his dark side, so to say. It is the dance that follows on the stairs/steps of the rotting city that went on to achieve cult status.
The steps where the dance scene was shot have unsurprisingly become a famous tourist attraction, after a number of people figured out its location.
Reportedly, the stairs connect Shakespeare and Anderson avenues at West 167th Street in the Bronx, in New York City.

Fans and tourists have been flocking to the stairs to get clicked ever since. Some even put on the costume of the Joker.
One of the beauties of the movie is that a lot of its scenes are open to interpretation. That makes the movie limitless, a more fluid piece of art, so to say.
People have been able to sympathise with the degradation of the soul that occurs in correspondence with the degradation of society.
