According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film’s projected opening weekend is just slightly above $120 million, which would firmly place it as the second-best domestic opening of the pandemic era behind Spider-Man: No Way Home, which debuted to a ridiculous $260.1 million en route to earning more than $1.8 billion at the worldwide box office. While it’s currently unlikely The Batman will reach the highs of the latest Marvel film, it is a major win for Warner Bros., especially considering that The Batman is not only a much darker film but also runs for nearly three hours. The film’s opening Friday included $21.6 million in Thursday previews and fan screenings in Imax theaters on Tuesday and Wednesday.
recently released The Batman is going to be a massive hit, as the film opened to $57 million at the Friday box office.
The Batman is directed by Matt Reeves from a screenplay he co-wrote with Peter Craig.
Reeves is also currently developing two HBO Max series that will be set within the film’s universe.
