Ruben Fleischer's Uncharted and Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin's Dog are also doing quite well while holding strong inside the Top 5.Īfter having crossed $100 million domestically last weekend, Uncharted added another $9.3 million to its gross in the last three days, marking an impressive 17 percent dip compared to the $11.1 million it made during The Batman's debut.

Both Uncharted And Dog Are Holding Strong Behind The Batman With Some Incredibly Small Weekend-To-Weekend DipsĬlearly The Batman is doing well with a lack of new big screen competition, but it isn't alone in that regard. Truth be told, the industry doesn't have another "big" title coming out until March 25 – namely Aaron and Adam Nee's The Lost City starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum – so it's pretty easy to expect that The Batman will dominate the market until that movie hits theaters. Hollywood did put out two big new titles this weekend, namely Domee Shi's Turning Red and Shawn Levy's The Adam Project, but both were released as streaming exclusives, meaning that they weren't stealing attention from the DC film at the cineplex.

Looking at the chart above, it should be clear that one of the reasons why The Batman was so successful in its second week is because it had relatively no competition. In 2022, The Batman is now the third highest grossing movie worldwide behind two massive Chinese films: Xing Wenxiong's Too Cool To Kill (which has made $406 million) and Dante Lam's The Battle At Lake Changjin II ($628.1 million).

Given that the movie had a budget of $200 million without accounting for publicity and marketing costs, the film probably hasn't broken even just yet for Warner Bros., but it is well on its way. According to The Numbers, foreign markets have contributed $145.7 million to its global box office total, bringing its worldwide box office earnings thus far to a stately $384.2 million. Of course, it's not just in the United States and Canada that The Batman is making money, as it is also doing quite well overseas. After making an impressive $134 million in its debut – which ended up being significantly higher than early estimates – the comic book blockbuster added another $66 million to its domestic total in the last three days. The Batman Drops 51 Percent In Its Second Week As It Claims Its Second Box Office CrownĮarlier this month, The Batman had the second best opening weekend of any film since the start of the pandemic (behind only Jon Watts' Spider-Man: No Way Home), and it has followed up that spectacular start with a solid performance in its sophomore weekend.
