I think people underrate how well uncharted has done.  I swear everyone was so sure it was going to flop.

It definitely got appropriate praise for its box office surprise/performance in its weekend threads.

Sing 2's chances at surpassing A Quiet Place 2 and No Time to Die to reach #7 for 2021 are getting stronger with each great hold. Would need to have another $11M+ in the tank to pass Eternals for #6 though.

Variety calling $4.3M (-25%) for NWH.

So they're projecting 35% Sunday drop. Hopefully it ends up being $130m.

[BruiseCruise]

No way Disney isn't regretting making Turning Red a D+ movie after seeing Sings performance

[filmlover]

Sunday's drop of 35% definitely looks like an overestimation since the afternoon and evening shows are still filling up. Should end up over $130M, which is still an excellent start.

SUNDAY AM UPDATE: Refresh for updates and chart In another clear sign that moviegoing is alive and well despite its shutter during the pandemic, Warner Bros.’ The Batman is delivering the second-best opening since 2019 after Spider-Man: No Way Home with $128.5M after a $43.2M Saturday, which was -24% against the pic’s opening Friday+previews. There’s a very good chance by tomorrow AM that Batman could rise beyond $130M.

Batman is easily the best opening for Warner Bros. during the pandemic, the best opening for filmmaker Matt Reeves ahead of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes ($73M), and as of right now, the best domestic opening for 2022. Batman‘s opening further underscores the value in a big theatrical opening; that there is no upside in going theatrical day-and-date, which is a recipe for eroding revenues, and certainly doesn’t do any favors for propping any hardworking filmmaker or talent’s career. Where is the glory in hiding streaming figures?!

The Batman does give off Batman Returns vibes at the box office - huge and yet still a little underwhelming. One key difference being that in 30 years, no one will remember TB or any of its scenes or characters. 

Go troll somewhere else

Bit of a lowball Sun/weekend estimate from WB? Not sure why they didn’t just call it $130 even, get those headlines, even if were to come in a smidge below (and it very well may get there anyway)

FWIW it is opening at a couple of theaters (mainly in the LA/NYC areas) next weekend. Doubt Disney reports any numbers for them though, since this is a one week run to assure that it will qualify for next year's awards cycle.

Uncharted and Batman hit $100m on the same day lol. Good we have 2 so far this year

 

Edit: oops I guess Batman did hit $100m yesterday
