Domestic only, that would be over $191.3M (AOU). If you go "single market" openings, it would be $201M (IW - China). 

 

I know. I was referring to domestic.

I WANT TO MARRY THIS THEME WHAT THE H*CK

The runtime is A-OK with me. It means they're giving Bruce a juicy, complex mystery to unravel.

200m is still hard. Only 8 films have done it. 5 are MCU/Avengers adjacent. Two are Star Wars. Jurassic World is the outlier but that was a nostalgic smash.

 

BVS is still the highest opening Batman movie and that had hook of a Superman team-up. Ironically, the 17th, 18th and 19th biggest openings are Batman. BVS (166), Dark Knight Rises (160.8m), Dark Knight (158.4m). Of course TDKR has impacted by the tragedy but safe to say, it likely wasn't coming near 200m.

 

160-170ish seems right? (Iron Man 3 did 174m and Civil War did 179m). 

 

"MCU adjacent" = Films that Amy Pascal vaguely tries to pass off as connected to the MCU like Venom. Not NWH which is MCU proper lol.

 

As for Batman and 200M, let's see. There's a reason NWH opened well above 200M and Homecoming/FFH despite all being MCU films and that's because it had a big hook of its own and was the most anticipated pandemic film so far. The Batman doesn't have as big a hook as NWH but then again we aren't expecting it to open at 260M either. I'll peg 200M OW as 50:50 right now as it's hotly anticipated and the first superhero film to follow NWH, with the perfect gap in release dates to build up demand. 200M will come down to the reviews and how they affect the hype.

Now release the budget numbers. They've said it's 100M, but i am not convinced

Not sure about 100 Million, but sincethis film does not seem to involve any huge CGI heavy action scenes, I see it coming in for much less then most CBM's.

As for lenght, since we don't know that much about the story, I think that David Selznick's comment that a movie can be too short at three and half hours, and too long at 90 minutes holds. I will comment that being long is no guarantee of quality, though.

It's more elegant than Elfman and Zimmer despite retaining some of the bombastic aspects.

 

They weren't kidding when they said this would be the most emotional Batman.

I said Avengers adjacent..

[Hatebox]

The theme wasn't what I expected. Not sure if I like it, but definitely curious to hear it in context.

[JonahVex]

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

[thesmoothknight]

Jonah Hill passed on it because he was asking for $10 million and he didn't wanted to play Penguin, he wanted The Riddler role. WB wanted to keep the budget down for this film and its going to end up being the right decision. To be honest, they make get a lot of that money back on merchandise alone lol 

[JonahVex]

>Jonah Hill thinks he's worth 10 million for a non lead role 

[belblazer]

The $100M is real but I think that they had to spend a few millions more due to the delays caused by the pandemic, since it started filming in January.

Dude FUCK those trophies lmao

[Jonwo]

The Batman is more a Spider-Man Homecoming than a NWH in terms of being the first of a new Batman series so $150m+ would be a huge achievement.

Was trying to 100% Arkham Knight (was my first Arkham game) but I only found out after I did every non-Riddler side-quest that I had to get the trophies too. Not as bad as Infamous Second Son tho where I was at 99% but couldn't 100% because of a glitch in a side-mission.

[Mango]

Just thinking it would be really cool to bring back actual midnight screenings with a film like this. No Way Home should have done it but opted for what was basically a Thursday release minus the first round of matinees. I'm tired of rolling Thursday into Friday goddamn it

[excel1]

Eh TBH 7 PM is much more convenient haha. The atmosphere at midnight showings was always like a football game, though. 

 

Box office wise, would be impossible to compare
