Batman It’s shaping up to be one of the most successful post-pandemic movie releases.
Four days later, including previews, Matt Reeves’ film on Caped Crusader is estimated to have raised $128.5 million (£97 million) at the box office.
These numbers, from Comscore, ranked it the fifth largest March opening of all time Beauty and the beast ($174 million / £131.5 million), Batman vs Superman ($166m / £125.5m), Captain Marvel ($153.5m / £116m) and hunger Games ($152.5 million / £115.5 million).
Given that its launch coincides with news that inner mask mandates have been lifted in several key regions, BatmanIt looks like the box office will grow exponentially over the next few weeks.
It also makes Batman The biggest movie of 2022 to date and the second to cross the $100 million mark in its opening weekend. the first was Spider-Man: There is no room for homewhich was released in December 2021.
The question fans are wondering is whether they need to sit through the credits for a scene that might spark future outings for Robert Pattinson’s Batman.

In fact, those who are left behind to see what sweets are in the store may be left feeling a bit confused.

The video you’ll get as a reward is a clip from Thomas Wayne’s mayoral campaign – Thomas Wayne, of course, is Batman’s own father, Bruce Wayne.
