In its second weekend at the box office, TheBatman holds strong, reeling in another $66 million.
With $66 million in its second weekend of release, director Matt Reeves’ The Batman has made nearly $240 million domestically. The film swatted away concerns about its length and lack of action becoming factors in its second weekend, and held better than most comic book movies, especially those released during the pandemic. It fell by just 51%, and if you take away the preview grosses from its first Friday tally, the drop is even better, at just 41%.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The film’s performance, and especially its surprising stronghold, should prove beyond a doubt that the appetite for event-driven superhero programming remains as strong as ever. Especially when you consider that No Way Home, despite having made nearly $1.9 billion globally in three months, is still a top-five player at the box office.
Also performing exceptionally well, Channing Tatum’s comeback starring vehicle, Dog, added another $5.3 million to its tally in its fourth weekend, for a running domestic total of $47.8 million. That’s a fine result for a film that cost a reported $15 million to make, and doesn’t involve spandex or CGI slugfests.
Expect The Batman to dominate the box office until Sony’s Morbius arrives in theaters in the first weekend of April, or, at the very least, until Sandra Bullock and Tatum’s The Lost City debuts later this month.
