The Batman Holds Strong at Box Office in Its Second Week

Well, it looks like audiences are loving Matt Reeves’ The Batman. The 3-hour superhero epic dropped just 51% in its second weekend (-41% if you remove previews), earning a stellar $66 million at the domestic box office, per Deadline. The pic now stands at $238.5 million in the US.

Internationally, The Batman collected an additional $66.6 million to bring its tally abroad to $224.7 million. All told, the Caped Crusader has taken in $463.2 million globally.

Per the trade, the second weekend drop bests those of Batman v Superman (-69%), Dark Knight Rises (-61%), Justice League (-56%) and The Dark Knight (-53%) as well as most Marvel films, which typically endure a -63% drop in their sophomore frame. With no additional wide releases on the docket until April, The Batman should cruise to No. 1 throughout the rest of March.

Elsewhere, Uncharted pulled in another $9.25 million (-17%) to bring its domestic total to $113.3 million. Worldwide, the video game adventure has earned $301 million with a China release kicking off today.
