The Batman movie, directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, has been one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2021. Fans and critics alike have been eagerly awaiting its release, wondering how it would perform at the box office. Well, the numbers are in, and they are impressive.
According to Box Office Mojo, as of September 26th, 2021, The Batman has grossed over $142 million domestically in just its first two weeks of release. This places it firmly among the top-grossing movies of the year so far.
But that’s not all. The movie has also performed well internationally, with a worldwide gross of over $261 million as of September 26th. This means that The Batman has already surpassed its reported production budget of $100 million.
So what does this mean for the future of the franchise? It’s clear that there is still a lot of interest in Batman as a character and in his world. With strong performances from Pattinson and a talented supporting cast including Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman and Colin Farrell as Penguin, it seems likely that we will see more from this iteration of Batman in the future.
Of course, box office numbers aren’t everything. The true measure of success for any movie is its impact on audiences and on popular culture as a whole. But there’s no denying that The Batman’s financial success is an indication that people are interested in what this movie has to offer.
Overall, it seems like The Batman has been a hit both critically and commercially. With strong word-of-mouth and more positive reviews coming in every day, it looks like this movie will continue to be a force to be reckoned with at the box office for some time to come.
