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

Movie is trending on social media AGAIN. Many here are dramatically underestimating this. 

[JonahVex]

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

Probably in entertainment, it’s not on the overall trending list in the US.

I just looked at Twitter and it says it’s trending under Entertainment. I don’t even know what that means so I’m not sure it actually means anything.

NFL is dominating it, as one might expect.

The Entertainment tag is a bit more user/algorithm based, but it ain't showing up on my non-logged in user experience, for the record.

 

Mind, whenever there is reason, this film trends.  It's just that there ain't much of a reason for it to trend today.

Ya, maybe it’s user based like the “for you” tab.

Can I just say how crazy it is that GCW is trending. From running shows from literal bingo halls and church settings to running Hammerstein, they have come a long way.

I stand corrected but thats still significantly below 150m so if anything a lot of us might be overestimating The Batman

[WittyUsername]

Never mind. I guess if there’s one thing I could say, it’s that this seems to be generating more hype than any DCEU film since BvS and SS.

Colin Farrell Recalls His Four-Hour ‘The Batman’ Transformation, Talks Sundance Drama ‘After Yang’

 

Quote

“Matt Reeves is a wonderful filmmaker, so I was just grateful to be allowed anywhere near it,” Farrell said of Reeves, who previously oversaw the rebooted “Planet of the Apes” franchise.

 

“Hopefully people are entertained by it and moved by it,” Farrell said. “It’s a very unique take on a story that’s often been told.”

Some interesting updated data from The Quorum.

40 days before release in January 22nd 2022, The Batman has a HIGHER awareness than NWH did 4 days before release. 
NWH awareness on December 13th, 2021 (4 days before US release): 61.15%
The Batman awareness in January 22nd 2022 (40 days before US release): 62.54%
For a better comparison, NWH on November 12th had an awareness of 51.47%

This is balanced out by the fact that NWH's interest at the same time was higher, of course... but not by much.  

NWH interest on December 13th, 2021 (4 days before US release): 6.89
The Batman interest in January 22nd 2022 (40 days before US release): 6.63
NWH interest on November 12th: 6.36

With 57% saying they want to see The Batman in theaters, compared to 59% to NWH 4 days before release.

Now let's compare to the 2nd highest domestic opening of the pandemic, to see how far away The Batman actually is from it:

Venom Let There Be Carnage awareness at time of release: 54.39% 
The Batman 40 days before release: 62.54%
Venom Let There Be Carnage on September 2nd: 47.42%

Interest:
Venom Let There Be Carnage at time of release: 5.78
The Batman 40 days before release: 6.63
Venom Let There Be Carnage on September 2nd: 5.76

Really think the range for the domestic opening of The Batman is between 150-180 million, but I'm gonna try not to get too excited and stick to 160 million. This isn't like any other reboot.

Yeah they will, like every other studio has.

He specifically namedropped The Batman as one of the films that'd end up on HBO MAX 45 days later. They're doing that with all their catalogue. 

[Maggie]

They won't change their mind just like they didn't change it about the 2021 streaming. It is what it is

150M is a reasonable guess but I don't think Homecoming is the right comp for this because the market couldn't be any different. Homecoming came out in the shadow of Wonder Woman which had incredible legs and had sealed the title of movie of the summer. HC also was the 3rd big superhero film in just 2 months after GOTG2 and WW and the 4th in 4 months counting Logan, so anticipation for it had dissipated somewhat.

 

OTOH, the market is currently bare and the anticipation is just building for The Batman, and will continue to do till March barring awful reviews or mass shutdowns.

These "this movie will be available here and when" announcements have become increasingly meaningless for the most part because in the end the studios are clearly just gonna do whatever they feel is best for their bottom line. For example, Turning Red was touted to be Pixar's return to theaters, and it has ended up yet another D+ exclusive that will skip theaters completely. Universal also said Marry Me would be one of their movies that would be on Peacock 45 days after opening in theaters, before announcing it would be a day-and-date title about a week later. Streaming 45 days after theaters for this sounds plausible at least since the hype will have died down significantly by that point and it'll be on its way out of theaters as the hype for the summer movie season starts to commence.
