(28 Oct 2019) NEW YORK STEPS BECOME TOURIST ATTRACTION THANKS TO THE "JOKER" A staircase in New York City that appeared in the movie Joker has become a popular tourist attraction.
A steady stream of tourists and locals visit the long staircase in the Highbridge neighborhood of the Bronx, between Anderson and Shakespeare avenues.
In the film, actor Joaquin Phoenix does a dance on the staircase accompanied to a Gary Glitter song.
Some residents of the neighborhood are not happy with all the additional foot traffic on the steps, which many people use daily to get to a nearby subway stop.
This week, "Joker" became the most successful R-rated moved ever, not accounting for inflation, in worldwide release.
It's made $849 million globally, including $47.8 million internationally over the weekend.
