Previously, not many adventurous tourists visited the Bronx, a region long notorious for its criminal gang activity. The borough's most notable attractions were the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Garden, and the historic New York Yankees baseball factory... But since the release of the Joker movie in early October, many New Yorkers and international tourists have flocked to these steps to take selfies or imitate the Joker's iconic dance moves.

For longtime Bronx residents like Laura Harry, such staircases are a perfectly normal sight in this hilly area. Harry has lived here for 30 years, and people like her use the stairs daily. "I'm glad they've made this place famous," Harry said, watching the stream of people taking pictures on the stairs.
Joker, directed by Todd Phillips and released by Warner Bros., has dominated the box office for the past two weeks. This blockbuster broke the record for the biggest opening weekend in October in film history, with a revenue of $96.2 million.
