Officials: INTERNATIONAL (51.2%)$377,200,000 Only $22.8m left to $400m mark. If Easter weekend helps and if HBO Max premiere / 1080p copy everywhere won't hurt the film much, I think The Batman will be over $400m OS when it's all done.

$790 million ($190m from China)

HBO Max premiere on April 18th confirmed (at least in Europe).

It depends on this and the next weekend. So far, The Batman is still ahead of Revenge of the Sith ($380.27m) at the same time. https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/custom-comparisons/Batman-The-(2021)/Star-Wars-Ep-III-Revenge-of-the-Sith#tab=day_by_day_comparison But RotS had the advantage with better week days in July / August. With good holds in April, Batman could still be on track to crack the $380m mark. With his current condition, he probably won't beat The Return of the King ($378.25m).

If FFH OW would have been $140m or more, than NWH increase was smaller than Civil War's. That means if the second Strange will open over $161 million than it will be a record breaking increase for MCU sequel.

The biggest OW increases in MCU so far: The Avengers = 161.9% of Iron Man 2 opening Captain America: Civil War = 188.5% of The Winter Soldier opening No Way Home = 281% of Far From Home (Friday-Sunday weekend) First Doctor Strange ow is $85.06m. With Civil War's increase, Multiverse of Madness will open over $160m. With NWH $239m.

It's never accurate. It's basing only on average ticket price for all movies the whole year, but The Batman atp is much higher than Encanto atp for sure, because of kids/family discounts. I rememebr Ray Subers article about that on old Mojo, Toy Story 2 admission was bigger than Toy Story 3 even if adjusted domestic gross on their site says otherwise (TS3 had 3D and IMAXes).

No chance to top Batman Forever admission. The Batman has the advantage of 3D, IMAXes, ScreenX, 4DX, etc, Average ticket price for the film's opening weekend was close to $12.90, ATP in 2021 was $9.56 (probably is higher now) and in 1995 Forever was only released in traditional theaters with ATP $4.35 (maybe higher during OW). Today, Batman Forever would have grossed $440-450 million and if not 2 re-issues of Toy Story in 1996, it would have remained as the biggest hit of 1995. The Batman won't be in 2022 Top3.

Officials: DOMESTIC (49.1%) $349,203,396 INTERNATIONAL (50.9%) $362,700,000 WORLDWIDE $711,903,396 With GotG2 and Deadpool legs from now on, The Batman will finish with around $383-384m domestic (that's an optimistic scenario - it needs better drops in the next few weekends to do so, not in -44/47% range). OS should be over $390m.

Another big drop this weekend (-46.4%). I don't see any chances for $800m worldwide anymore, even No Time to Die final numbers seems a very hard target at this point. $760-770m final for The Batman ($375m domestic and a little bit more OS).

Warner Bros.’ The Batman continues to chug on its way to a final $400M+ endgame stateside. Three other Warner Bros. movies, all DC titles, have clicked past $400M: Dark Knight ($534.9M), Dark Knight Rises ($448.1M) and Wonder Woman ($412.8M).

Good hold for The Batman. Seems to aiming $11.5m 5th weekend.

Great essay! Agree 100%!

It's unofficial: They moved The Batman HBO Max premiere to May 22nd (at least in Europe).

$1.3m for The Batman on Thursday, $338.2m after 4 weeks in release. It needs really great hold this weekend to cross $350m on Sunday. If it won't, even $380m might be dead.

My final predictions before tickets go on sale: opening weekend $160.7m domestic $410-430m overseas $550m (without China, I don't think it would get green light there) OS won't be as great as I thought 3 months ago. No China, no Russia, no Ukraine, no Belarus, and covid situation in South Korea. First Strange did around $336m overseas, The Winter Soldier did $339m OS-China two years earlier. Even with similiar jump to Civil War, Strange 2 would get around $564m os, but under today's conditions I would be surprised if Strange makes more than the last Bond (OS-C).

I mostly agree (not about the story - it was average on the first Thor level). Unfortunately, Black Panther is an action film full of cgi. 😕

The Batman is now the biggest Batman film in Poland and 3rd DC film of all time (only behind Joker and Superman III).

It depends on how the audience will react on HBO Max premiere. If Warner will drop all theaters for Batman to focus on the new Fantastic Beasts movie and if they would remind everyone about their streaming platform, than chances for $400m are zero. If they don't, and people would still want to go to see The Batman on the big screen, than it might touch $400m after all. But the chances are very small right now. Around $385m is where the film's heading.

No one says Disney will push Thor to 2023. They might push it to November 2022.

I think The Batman probably already have more profit than BvS. With $185-200m production budget vs. $250-300m BvS budget, and smaller P&M costs (BvS was $150-165m - record for WB) Matt Reeves film must be bigger succes for the studio. Covided China and South Korea, no Russia, Ukraine, Belarus - The Batman could have +$100m more with early February release date.

The Batman is still around $2.3m behind Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at te same point, but the Guardians had advantage during the 4th weekend because it was Memmorial Day Weekend (great Sunday and bigger-than-normal Monday). Their fifth weekend wasn't very good (53% drop), I think Batman will handle next weekend(s) much better. It will be over $339m on Thursday and add at least $11 next weekend for +$350m till April 3rd. If not HBO Max premiere on April 19th, I think Batman would catch the Guardians and finish with +$390m domestically, but for now... I'm not so sure. $382-385m for the Bat in total. Overseas should be +400m, so $800m is still in the game. <fingers crossed>

So, the 4th Joker in 6 years (Leto, Phoenix, Gotham-tv-series, and now this one). I stopped waiting for the sequel. Terrible, fan-fiction feel scene and bad casting choice.
