Los Angeles, Mar21: Hollywood star Robert Pattinson’s superhero movie ‘The Batman’ has minted over $300 million in North America. That feat is not surprising because March has been relatively light in terms of new releases. But even though there hasn’t been much competition, ‘The Batman’ has managed to score impressive week-to-week holds. The movie collected $36.8 million from 4,302 theatres between Friday and Sunday, representing only a 45 per cent decline from last weekend, reports variety.com. Those ticket sales push ‘The Batman’ past $300 million in North America, making the comic book adaptation the second pandemic-era movie to cross that benchmark after ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’. At the international box office, the film opened in China, where 43 per cent of the country’s theatres are closed due to a Covid resurgence to a muted $12.1 million. In total, ‘The Batman’ added $49.1 million from 76 overseas markets, taking its global total to a mighty $598 million. Those returns represent a needed commercial win for Warner Bros., which spent $200 million to produce ‘The Batman’ and many millions more to market the film to audiences across the world. Three new movies opened nationwide, but the manga adaptation ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie’, slasher thriller ‘X’, and the Focus Features mystery drama ‘The Outfit’ did not pose a threat to ‘The Batman’. In the second place on domestic box office charts, the ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’ notched a remarkable $17.6 million from 2,340 locations in its debut. Anime films have been increasingly popular in North America, and Funimation, which recently merged with Crunchyroll and is mostly owned by Sony Pictures, has been at the forefront.Last spring, the film company opened ‘Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train’ to $21.2 million, a huge result at a time when cinemas were operating at reduced capacity.
