After quite a few months of delay, it is running The Batman now in cinemas worldwide. ‘s movie Matt Reeves was already very well received and nothing seems to stand in the way of the film to also perform strongly financially.
The first results are rolling in. Including the previews earlier this week, the DC movie would have raised about $55 million through yesterday. According to Deadline The Batman in the States alone come out at $110 million, but this could also turn out higher.
The score seems a little on the low side for a superhero movie, but still ends up being the sixth strongest North American start in March after Beauty and the Beast ($174.7 million), Batman v. Superman ($166 million), Captain Marvel ($153.4 million), The Hunger Games ($ 152.5 million) and [i]Alice in Wonderland ($116.1 million).
Worldwide to $225 million
The expectation is that The Batman after this weekend stands at about 225 million dollars. Deadline already made this prediction a few days ago. It is not entirely clear how much the film cost. The amount is somewhere between $100 and 185 million.
So the reception is also strong. The film currently ranks 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, with 92 percent as the Audience Score. FilmTotaal reviewer Thierry Verhoeven was a little less enthusiastic. In his review he gave 2.5 stars.
