Moviegoers have spoken, and they've chosen Captain Marvel and Joker as the top 2019 movie-inspired costumes for this Halloween, according to FandangoNOW.

FandangoNOW, Fandango's streaming service, exclusively revealed to EW the results of its survey, which asked more than 1,000 millennial film fans what movie characters they're dressing as for the holiday festivities.

Brie Larson's Captain Marvel took the crown for the top costume inspired by a female character in a 2019 movie, while Joaquin Phoenix's Joker was voted the choice costume based on a male character.

Top group costumes included Avengers: Endgame, the Tethered from Us, and the casts of the upcoming films, Frozen II, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and Cats.

Joker's popularity has also translated at the box office — the Todd Phillips-directed film has recently become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. It's already crossed the $788.1 million mark internationally, beating out Deadpool's $782 million and Deadpool 2′s $785 million for the record.
