TheBatman fell 51% from its $134 million debut, a better hold than most comic book tentpole. 'The Suicide Squad,” “Eternals,” “Black Widow” and “Shang-Chi” plummeted anywhere from 53% to 71% in their sophomore outings.
The Warner Bros. film earned $66 million from 4,417 North American theaters in its second weekend of release, propelling its domestic tally to a robust $238.5 million. After only 10 days on the big screen, “The Batman” ranks as the highest-grossing movie of 2022, as well as the second-highest grossing film since the onset of COVID-19.
Positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth have kept audiences coming back to “The Batman,” which co-stars Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman and Paul Dano as the Riddler. Directed by Matt Reeves, the PG-13 “The Batman” — which runs at a butt-numbing three hours — takes a gritty look at Bruce Wayne’s earlier days as “the world’s greatest detective.”
Without any new nationwide releases, “The Batman” had no trouble towering over domestic charts. In a distant second place, Tom Holland’s video game adaptation “Uncharted” nabbed $9.2 million from 3,725 North American venues. After four weeks of release, the PG-13 action-adventure has earned $113 million. “Uncharted” has also been popular internationally, adding $11.2 million over the weekend and taking its overseas total to $187.9 million.
At No. 4, Channing Tatum’s PG-13 canine adventure “Dog” made $5.3 million from 3,407 venues. Those receipts bring the film’s domestic tally to $47.8 million. “Spider-Man: No Way Home” finished the weekend in fifth place, earning $4.07 million from 2,702 screens. Sony’s comic book behemoth has managed to stay in the top five since its debut, which is impressive because the film opened in theaters 13 weeks ago.
