Blackkklansman in my eyes, is certainly one of the worst best picture nominees. A movie exists only to criticise trump’s America without a proper plot to dissect black dilemma in the country. It is like a don’t look up but talk about racial tension.  

And it was made worse by having Spike Lee rant that his didnt win. Sometimes you have to accept that your film wasnt as good or moving as others tackling similar subject matters

I suspect that the way Batman's performance this weekend will basically be its performance for its entire run. Wouldn't be surprised with a second weekend in the 60-65M range. Could still see a 380M final but gonna say 350-380M for now.

Can't believe a single movie already gross 50% of WB's total box office gross in 2021.

I agree in part.  I purposely booked a Saturday 2pm viewing b/c with previews running 25-30 minutes before a movie, this will be a 3.5 hour experience.  And I need to eat and sleep and find time in my schedule.  So, I expect Saturday (and even Sunday) to be a very, very good day.  I don't expect weeknights to be as good b/c this movie is asking for so much time and attention.  Uncharted was an hour shorter - that's more weeknight doable...

 

So, it seems my past self nailed how the weekend was gonna go....

Its opening weekend (329K admissions) is still very good even in the face of competition. Big, but not quite mega-event capefilms tend to open in that vicinity (300K-400K range) anyway. Ragnarok (280K), Captain Marvel (402K) and Venom 1 (302K) opened to similar numbers.

 

It's the third biggest opening for DC there after BvS (513K) and Joker (385K). The latter was also released alongside a big local film much like this Batman reboot.

Ah, some actual context. Always nice to have. Thank you. 
 

There is a Batman OS thread for those who wish to discuss which countries it didn’t hit #1 in. 
 

This is the thread to discuss the film being underestimated by $6m on Sunday

@EmpireCity is right on the money yet again. The mods might want to edit the title when the actuals come in because Gitesh's number here is higher than Suicide Squad.

Well, I wasn't the one who started the derailing 

Still, thanks for reminding me that I should probably chime in on that thread.

so what would be the upper limit for the film worldwide?

I'd guess 800m worldwide unless it just blows up in China like Aquaman did but there's like <0.1% chance of that 

[titanic2187]

So with that 34m Sunday, it is safe to deduce that whilst batman and joker look quite audience unfriendly and gritty, but clearly there is a huge appetite and interest for dark and serious stuff. 

[AdrianL]

2.5x multiplier gets this to $335m. 3x multiplier gets it to $400m!

 

I'm thinking it'll do around $360m but $400m would be awesome.

Even more backloaded after they revise downward Friday number. The Sunday number is only less than 3% from Friday, proving that early fan screening move ran away from Friday and 3 hours run time move more causal into weekend

Happy to see Sun above BvS'. Monday will be below BvS again no doubt (Easter). Should be beating BvS' daily grosses consistently from Tuesday onwards.

Sorry this wasn’t aimed at you, it was the people discussing the tiny percentage of countries where it didn’t go #1.
