Holy ticket sales, Batman!
Robert Pattinson's pitch-black superhero adventure "The Batman" collected a mighty $128.5 million in its box office debut, marking the best opening weekend of 2022 by a landslide. But what is more impressive: it's only the second pandemic-era movie to cross the $100 million mark in a single weekend, a feat first achieved by "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which launched last December to a historic $260 million.
Of course, it helps that "The Batman" has the glittery promise of a former "Twilight" heartthrob playing one of the most famous comic book characters in history. But there were plenty of factors that could have worked against a different, less-embraced version of "The Batman." For one, it clocks in at three hours, which is a long sit for even the biggest movie-lover.
Prior to this weekend, Tom Holland's video game adaptation "Uncharted" held the title for the biggest opening weekend of the year with $44 million in initial sales. "The Batman," based on a far more ubiquitous property, beat that benchmark after earning $57 million on opening day alone. Yet "Uncharted," which is still playing in theaters, managed to bring in solid business despite the outsized attention for "The Batman.
