In its second weekend of release, Warner Bros.’ “The Batman” easily remained the No. 1 movie in North American theaters with $66 million in ticket sales.
' “The Batman” easily remained the No. 1 movie in North American theaters with $66 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday, while a live BTS concert broadcast was one-day-only blockbuster.
“The Batman,” Warner Bros.' first exclusively theatrical release in more than a year after experimenting with simultaneous streaming releases through 2021, is expected to have much of March to itself at theaters. No new wide releases opened over the weekend and “The Batman” should remain atop the box office for at least another week. Partly because theaters were so dependent on “The Batman” this month, AMC Entertainment and some other chains introduced ticket prices that were $1 to $1.
“Uncharted,” the action-adventure starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, declined only 17% in its fourth week of release. The videogame adaptation, from Sony Pictures, came in second with $9.3 million. It grossed $113.4 million domestically.MGM's “Dog," starring Channing Tatum, has also had staying power. In its fourth week of release, it dipped only 13% with $5.3 million in ticket sales. The modestly budgeted film has made $47.8 million.
"These are unusually small weekend-over-weekend drops," said Dergarabedian, who noted the dip for “The Batman” was even less if you discounted the film's early presales ahead of opening weekend. “The road to recovery is in full swing, it's just taking a while.”. But it was also reflective of an early 2022 trend and changes accelerated by the pandemic. With more major movies going straight to streaming, theatrical offerings are slimmer.
