According to Deadline, The Batman film has surpassed USD $505 million at the global box office.
The latest Batman film has had more success domestically with USD $258.3 million. Meanwhile, the international gross total reached $247.5M as of yesterday. The $505.8M amount does not include yet the Chinese market where the film will make its debut tomorrow.
The Batman film, directed by Matt Reaves, has become the “fourth highest-grossing studio release of the pandemic era,” says the Deadline post. The 3-hour runtime and the increased ticket prices did not stop fans to watch the film which currently averages an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to see people all over the world enjoying The Batman in theaters,” said Toby Emmerich, Chairman at Warner Bros Pictures. “Matt Reeves has delivered an extraordinary film that manages to honor the legacy of this global cultural hero while taking moviegoers into an experience that feels fresh and original. We congratulate Matt, Dylan, Walter, Chantal, Robert and Zoë, and the entire cast and crew on this wonderful benchmark.”
