$55 million is now definitely in the cards, with an outside shot it gets up over $60 million.
It is a couple million ahead of where Old and House of Gucci were at this point (and both of those grossed $4.1 million in their third weekend).
#BATMAN BOX OFFICE FREE#
Only three original films have made as much as $40 million in their first 17 days – Free Guy, Encanto, and now, Dog. Speaking of which, UA Releasing’s Dog with Channing Tatum (in front of and behind the camera) lapped up another $6 million this weekend for just a 36% drop from last week. Maybe not as much as the numbers for Dog but every dollar counts. (It is over $271 million worldwide right now.) This is another good sign that we are inching towards a degree of normality when it comes to moviegoing again. The film is now right on pace with Ghostbusters: Afterlife and could be headed to over $130 million. Uncharted is just the 11th film from March 2020 on to hit that first big milestone in 17 days or less.
#BATMAN BOX OFFICE MOVIE#
The Batman was able to take the crown as the first movie this year to reach nine digits on Saturday, but big deal. Even with The Batman in play, the film dropped to a still robust $11 million in its third weekend, bringing its total to over $100 million. The Top 10 and Beyond: Uncharted and Dog Hold On in the Shadow of The BatmanĪfter two weeks atop the box office, Sony’s Uncharted fell back to second place, and by the looks of things, it won’t be dropping much further anytime soon. But as stated last week, expect to see The Batman mentioned in this column up until at least just before Memorial Day weekend. If not, then Morbius will do the honors in week five.
The Batman isn’t facing any competition for the next two weeks, and it will take The Lost City to potentially dethrone it in weekend four. (After last year’s streaming experiment with HBO Max, The Batman is WB’s highest-grossing film since Todd Phillips’ Oscar-winner.) The final gross of films opening between $120-130 million have ranged from The Passion of the Christ’s $370 million to Frozen’s $400 million. The low total for a $100 million opener is Joker’s $335 million. (It is over $248 million worldwide.) Now we’ll see if we have reached a point in the pandemic when numbers of this magnitude continue with the remarkable consistency that they have in the past. Lo and behold the estimate is at $128.5 million, making it the 62nd film to open to over $100 million and just the second in the past two years. Only one film with more than $50 million through opening Friday finished the weekend with less than $120 million ( Spider-Man: Homecoming with $117 million.) That was the floor that The Batman should have been given the benefit of the doubt on.įollow the money, as they say, and best guesstimates (even before this weekend) would have put The Batman over $120 million through Sunday. Both lowballs, unless the assumption was that word-of-mouth was going to somehow diminish its earnings on Saturday and Sunday, even if there was nothing to indicate that. This led to headlines that The Batman was headed for a $110 million weekend, maybe $120 million by some reports. Add in another $3.7 million in Tues & Weds fan previews, and it all amounted to a $57 million haul by the end of Friday night. Thursday night previews made $17.9 million, the second-highest during the pandemic behind Spider-Man: No Way Home’s massive $50 million. Let’s look more closely at those Batman numbers. King of the Crop: The Batman Soars to $128 Million Opening However, as the numbers began to come in this weekend, it appeared as if analysts were starting to sell Matt Reeves’ film short, as if to create the appearance of an overperformance. Would its three-hour running time be a factor in limiting showtimes? Hardly, when the marketplace has room for a single film in multiple houses. "Sing 2," $1.5 million.Heading into this weekend, everyone was confident that The Batman was going to put up huge numbers. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. and Canadian theatres, according to Comscore.

Focus Features launched the crime drama 'The Outfit', starring Mark Rylance in 1,324 locations.
