Up to now, The Batman is holding the throne of films with the highest starting revenue in 2022, and the second highest during the pandemic period from 2020 to present.
The Batman started having special screenings last Thursday and have continuously achieved impressive results since then.
The film has a sneakshow revenue (early show) of 21.6 million USD and that figure has increased to over 57 million USD after the first day of release, surpassing even big boxers before the pandemic such as Joker or Aquaman. This shows that the audience seems ready to return to the cinema, as long as there are quality works.
At the international box office, The Batman also earned 120 million USD after the first week of release, bringing the film's total revenue to 248 million USD. This figure is somewhat better than the $200 million capital that Warner Bros. was spent to get Batman back on screen, according to a report by Variety.
Previously, there was information that The Batman had an investment capital of only about 100 million USD. In any case, the revenue of 248 million USD after the first week of release when the film had not yet been released in major markets such as Japan and China opened up a bright prospect of profits for Warner Bros.
The Batman is a new work in the DC universe, directed by Matt Reeves of the two- film series Hanh Tinh Khieu. The film marks 10 years since his own film Batman, with a heavy role given to actor Robert Pattinson.
Removing prejudices about a bland, romanticongong in Twilight, actor Pattinson brought a completely different image of Batman, dark, depressed and filled with hatred. His performance with other actors in the film such as Paul Dano, Colin Farrell and Zoe Kravitz received praise from both critics and fans.
Following The Batman, the DC universe will also bring 3 new blockbusters this year: Black Adam, The Flash and especially Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. In addition, next May, the animated film of this DC League of Super Pets will also be released.
