Unsurprisingly, The Batman remains in first place at the American box office at the end of the weekend. The broadcast of BTS’ event concert comes in third place.
After a very solid start, The Batman continues its race at the head of the American box office, far ahead Uncharted with Tom Holland. After a first weekend beyond $128 million, the film with Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz has accumulated an additional $66 million according to the first estimates from Box-office Mojo.
As our colleagues at Boxoffice Pro point out, “if it drops 51% over its second weekend (…), the Matt Reeves-Robert Pattinson version resists better than the previous Batman: The Dark Knight in 2008 had lost 53% in the 2nd week, The Dark Knight Rises of 2012 61% and Batman v. Superman in 2016, 69%.“
For the record, the Warner Bros. studios, which must also distribute Black Adam, The Flash and Aquaman 2 this year, returned with The Batman to an exclusivity strategy for dark rooms, putting behind them a 2021 vintage marked by releases “day and date” (a simultaneous theatrical and streaming release via HBO Max).
Behind The Batman, we find among others two films with Tom Holland: Uncharted, always 2nd, and Spider-Man No Way Home which continues to cling, this week, to 5th place in the ranking.
Little room for new things: the broadcast of the BTS concert, Permission to dance on Stage – Seoul: Live Viewingtakes 3rd place, while the Indian film Radhe Shyam is 7th.
All other films are continuations: dog, Death on the Nile, All on stage 2, jackass foreverand finally Scream.
