The lost city would be a shame if it goes to Par+. I think it has potential in theaters.

@Eric Osborn you don't think The batman could move? It's in danger of Omicron peaking at the start of March

Shang-Chi came out at the peak of Delta and it did fine. The Batman has just as, arguably more hype than Shang-Chi. It'll be alright.

Of course it could move, but its not like there is a clear pattern and every period has the same level of risk.As long as cases are at an acceptable level if you will, say  like in the sept or dec period , the big movies will probably stay where they are and besides isnt it a little early to worry about a situation that thats 3 months aways, lets first see what will happen with the current wave.

True. The target audience for The Batman is young guys, they just made Spidey a huge hit and are the ones that kept theaters alive this year

Batman has DEFINATELY way more hype than shang chi.

Matrix feels like it has lost all of the buzz it had, like in the first trailer you could feel the buzz but now....they should have moved it and had it as a theatrical only release.

Any omicron wave in the states will come before Batman. 
It could possibly move a few weeks, but I’ll be amazed if we don’t see the movie before Easter time. 
 

it’s going to be way bigger than many think too.

I hope they don't send The batman to streaming. Move it, but no streaming pls

I would be truly shocked with this.

 

I never really believed they would reverse the 2021 decision, but they know there's no need for do it again. Every wave ends, they just need to wait a couple of months if they need to.

yep. They’d already committed to it being on HBO though. Once it was in their marketing to subscribers in early 2021 their hands were tied. It’s such a shame. 
 

regardless, I’m as buzzed for it as any movie all year.

I gotta wonder if The Flash will beat The Batman at the box office with the multiverse nostalgia stuff thrown in.

 

It boosted MCU Spidey so much.

The Flash won’t get close to Batman

i like it! 
the Pattinson factor is going to be a much more lucrative driver on footfall for a demo most are ignoring.

I really doubt it. Just like Tom holland is not a major factor on why Spidey is doing huge numbers. The brand sells itslef.

[Torontofan]

Very hard to get tickets for no way home here due to 50% restrictions

 

Demand is still sky high

[wildphantom]

When Keaton’s Batman rocks up, I’ll be the guy up on his feet, crying and fangirling. 
 

he’ll be all over the trailers though I would imagine. It’s something they can’t keep secret as it’s their big selling point for it to cross over into MAJOR movie territory.

March Top 5:

 

1) Beauty and the Beast - 174m

2) Batman vs Superman - 166m

3) Captain Marvel - 153m

4) The Hunger Games - 152m

5) Alice in Wonderland- 116m

 

Where will The Batman fall?

[DAJK]

Batman imo is going to be like a 120/350 run. I never was really on board the 200+ OW or 400+ DOM trains.

The Holland/Zendaya fan girls are what I’m talking about.  They’re the ones that don’t shut up about these guys on social media. Pattinson’s emo Bruce Wayne is everywhere constantly.
