HOLY TICKET SALES BATMAN!!!!!
It’s great to see people back in theates enjoying popcorn and nibs and movies!
‘The Batman’ starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz and Colin Farrell made a statement for the DC Films and Warner Bros. Pictures with $128 Million at the Box Office in North America and the second biggest pandemic movie debut after Superman with 260 Million in December 2021.
There was no surprise Matt Reeves’s superhero crime fighting franchise reboot would be a huge hit and lived up to the hype taking in $248.5 million globally.
THE BATMAN is also the largest opening for the Dark Knight considering that Batman is one of the cinema’s most popular brands. It’s impressive considering the length of the film plus the grim content.
The film clocks in at 2 hours and 56 minutes, and is one of the longest superhero movies ever made. That extended run time makes it hard to maximize screenings, and tickets sales. Also, the film’s violent, dark tone isn’t exactly family friendly.
The movie cost an estimated 185-200 Million to produce and already seeing profits after the first weekend.
“The Batman” scored an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and an “A-” from CinemaScore from audience members.
