To no one's surprise, 'The Batman' is projected to make an obscene amount of money in its opening weekend.
Whether you like it or not, superhero movies sell. The Batman, due out in theaters this Friday, is poised to deliver the biggest opening weekend since Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which debuted to record-breaking numbers back in December. The decidedly darker DC film is conservatively estimated to make between $100 million and $125 million in its opening weekend, which is roughly around half of what No Way Home made in its first three days.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Budgeted at a reported $200 million, the film stars Robert Pattinson in the titular role, and tells a grim story about Bruce Wayne's early days as the crime-fighting vigilante Batman. Director Matt Reeves has cited everything from the New Hollywood movies of the 1970s to the music of Nirvana to David Fincher's serial killer thrillers as influences, teasing a noir-infused detective thriller that just happens to be populated by DC characters.
Warner Bros is betting hard on the film, and has already set into motion two spinoff series for HBO Max—the first is a procedural about the Gotham City Police Department, and the second a Scarface-like crime story led by Farrell’s Penguin. Two theatrical sequels are also being planned. Also starring Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Colin Farrell as Penguin, The Batman is out Friday. Stay tuned to Collider for more box office updates.
