You say that but I still feel lied to by Paramount and SNAKE EYES

I remember your freedom convoy to Paramount HQ to get them to release it on Paramount+.

 

Definitely a better cause than the "Freedom Convoy" nonsense we have seen from idiots.

is 400M not a done deal now for Batman? I think 450M is quite in sight. !!!

400 is definitely possible but not a done deal at all. And we're some strooong late legs away from 450.

[wildphantom]

It’s a brilliant hold for Batman. No question. I’m all over it nearing $400 million as the film is terrific and deserves it.  

[wildphantom]

Don’t underestimate how good the positive second weekend press will be for its legs. Perception of success definitely has an effect on people choosing to see something or not.

Competition gets tougher from 3/25 onwards. Lost City, then Moribus, then Ambulance and Sonic, then Fantastic Beasts. Showtimes will be lesser. Low $400s looks likely, though if it holds exceptionally well this week, $450m could be in play.

BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - SEOUL $6.84M Weekend (Est.) 803 Screens / $8,518 Avg. Weekend 1

They really missed the opportunity to give this a whole wide release and more than just one showtime day.

 

These kids today deserve to have their equivalent of those 3D concert movies that came out 10 years ago. I still remember going to see the Hannah Montana 3D concert movie way back in the day. Blew my 10-year-old mind away.

Does NWH a make $800m before Morbius opens?

Morbius OW?

[AdrianL]

Thr Batman alone will make about 60% of what WB made overall domestically 2021... lol

[wildphantom]

Lost City, Sonic, Morbius, Beasts - it’s looking rosy people!! 

[john2000]

probably 1,877 or so

If it doesn’t they can just add in double features from Morbius to boost it. 
 

Would be good for Sony headlines that weekend. Especially if Morbius is crap.

Does The Batman even have a concrete date as to when it will launch on HBO Max yet beyond the vague "45 days after theaters" thing? With drops like this one has to imagine they'll hold back for as long as possible, especially when $400M+ total is now well within sight.

 

While I understand the sentiment here, if you look at the April calendar, the reality is the 45 days after (April 19th) just doesn't matter much. In April alone between the 1st and the 15th we've got Morbius, Sonic 2 and Fantastic Beasts opening ultra wide, plus some mid-range releases like Ambulance, Father Stu and Everything, Everywhere All At Once. Add in The Lost City which could be pulling stong numbers, and there really aren't many screens left to be given to Batman. It just simply won't have the open runway like NWH did. Sure, maybe it would add a few million after that date, but Dr. Strange would take it out pretty quickly thereafter anyways.

Excellent second weekend for The Batman. It would need to slide up over a million in actuals in order to have a drop under 50% - is that possible? We'll find out. Either way, great hold.

The 2nd weekends of Spider-Man 2002 and Black Panther are just stunning. Wonder Woman and TDK are in tier 2.
