The Batman | March 4, 2022 | Warner Bros. | Certified Fresh on RT | 7th Most Profitable Movie of 2023

[Borobudur]

Surprise to see this coming better than TSS B+.

[Krissykins]

A- is good. Also considering there were 3 days for hardcore fans to go before Cinemascore polled. And I’d imagine fewer families inflating the scores.

or fewer families deflating scores , like Batman Returns,  maybe ?

why people are predicting the total with the OD as a reference lol

[Legion Again]

Weekend thread is locked @RthHome. Is comScore fixed enough for you to have a range?

And we don't even know the OD yet 

 

The doom and gloom about this movie gets tiredsome really quickly

Predicting the total once you have a full OD is boring, we are predicting it off previews only for the thrills.

Yeah I'll be the first to admit that I was expecting B+ so this is a very pleasant surprise. All it now needs is a solid Box Office to solidify WB's stance on the film and the franchise moving forward.

 

I always loved the idea of Matt Reeves being the one to handle the Batman IP and with this + great reviews + hopefully a great Box Office to show for, Reeves and this franchise is here to stay.

I was just about to say lol.
 

RTH just gave the UK Friday number (£5m+) and the weekend thread is locked. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t think so, I think the huge family turnouts are why Superhero films score so highly, like animation. 
 

I love the story of Batman Returns though, kids crying in the lobby 😂

A- is a surprise score but still in line with 91% RT verified audience score. Haven't seen big shift in reception after a full OD.

Think the number Gitesh gave earlier 58m should at least be where it gets to, see how it goes.

Most studios would Kill for 130 Million OW for one of their films nowdays.

The bitching about box office is ridiculous.

I always thought the 200 Milion OW predictions were crazy.

I am really interested in the reginal breakdown.

 

[AdrianL]

Come on 60m Friday...

 

The Cinemascore is a relief. I was one of the few who leaned to the higher predictions but looking back it was absurd to expect WB to get their biggest opening ever now after the 2021 they had.

Walkups were supposedly huge and beat projections on west coast like Sherman Oaks. Those late shows are getting packed in

That’s impressive for a 3 hour film. 3.5hrs with trailers and ads. 
 

The runtime is the sole reason I couldn’t go last night after work. Going today in a few hours.

The suicide squad got a b+ ? The way people talk about it on the internet you'd think everyone who saw it loved it?

[WittyUsername]

I’m glad this film broke the trend of the past four DC movies getting a B+ on Cinemascore.

When I watched The Batman on Thursday, a family walked out after the first hour of the movie
