It was still stupid of the CEO to say on day 46 The Batman is going to streaming cause if its got really good legs and he changes that then the HBOmax subscribers are gonna be pissed
Most people here see this opening up somewhere around the 150m range, thats not sleeping on it thats being realistic, remember S-M Homecoming opened to like 98m and that was apart of the MCU, The Batman is in its own world and DC doesn't have the fanbase/trust that Marvel has
I believe the $100 mil budget, as the above mentioned lacked of cgi + the cast can't be too expensive since Pattinson is getting only $3mil and everyone else is gonna fall in behind him
