‘The Batman’ soars to $134M opening at box office

‘The Batman’ landed a bigger opening weekend than Warner Bros, the studio behind the comic book adventure, initially expected, reports Variety.

The newest superhero epic, starring Robert Pattinson as an exceptionally moody Caped Crusader, collected $134 million in North American theaters over the weekend, above Sunday’s estimates of $128.5 million.

Those ticket sales rank as the best opening of 2022, as well as only the second pandemic-era movie to cross the $100 million mark in a single weekend following ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home.’
