TheBatman has made more in its opening day than Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins made in its 3-day opening weekend.
The Batman is projected to have the best opening weekend of 2022 so far after beating Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins' opening weekend in just one day. The newest entry in the canon of the DC Comics Caped Crusader stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman and came to theaters March 4, 2022. The film follows Batman in his first few years as Gotham's premier deliverer of vigilante justice when a serial killer known as the Riddler starts wreaking havoc around town.
The Batman has arrived at a pivotal moment for the 2022 box office. Although there have been some wide releases scattered throughout the beginning of the year, there have been several weekends completely barren of new major movies. This is partially what allowed the box office juggernaut Spider-Man: No Way Home to continue its run at #1 more or less unabated .
The Batman is also performing competitively with pre-pandemic blockbusters, landing the sixth-best March opening weekend of all time. It's even set to premiere higher than DC's last big box office opener Joker, which nabbed $96.2 million in 2019. This take is even scraping rather close to box office juggernaut Spider-Man, which debuted at $121.9 million.
With a strong opening and largely positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, The Batman will certainly have a strong theatrical showing. Later in the year, it will face competition from a slate of Marvel movies including Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder, so its claim to the 2022 opening weekend title may eventually be toppled.
