'Batman' 500'nin En Büyük Hiti Olmak İçin 2022 Milyon Dolara Yakın

Warner Bros. ' Batman earned another $6.37 million on its second Monday, dropping 68% from Sunday and 41% from its first Monday gross. That brings its domestic cume up to $245.4 million in 11 days of release. Barring a fluke in terms of Tuesday upswings (“cheap ticket Tuesday”), it’ll pass the $251.5 million unadjusted domestic gross of Tim Burton’s Batman sometime tonight. Back in 1989, the Michael Keaton/Jack Nicholson epic broke the opening weekend record (by a lot) with a $43 million Fri-Sun debut and eventually earned $251 million domestic to become the fifth-biggest domestic grosser ever.

In an ironic development, Sam Raimi’s Örümcek Adam would break the opening weekend record in summer 2002 with a $114 million debut and leg out to $403 million to itself become (at the time) the fifth-biggest domestic earner. Neither film would top the global box office for their respective years, coming in behind Indiana Jones ve Son Macera ($475 million in 1989) and both İkiz kuleler (937'da 2002 milyon dolar) ve Harry Potter ve Sırlar Odası ($879 million in 2002) respectively. Despite decades of alleged superhero movie dominance, The Dark Knight would mark the first time a comic book superhero flick would top globally, with $533 million domestic and $1.004 billion worldwide.

Even its $469 million overseas gross was right in between Indiana Jones ve Kristal Kafatası Krallığı (474 milyon dolar) ve Mamma Mia! ($ 466 milyon). Yenilmezler would top the year globally in 2012 (ten years ago) with $623 million domestic and $1.519 billion worldwide, while The Dark Knight Rises would place third with $1.084 billion behind Yenilmezler ve Şiddetli yağmur ($1.1 billion) and just ahead of Hobbit: Beklenmedik Yolculuk ($1.017 billion). Its $632 million overseas gross was behind the likes of Yenilmezler ($ 895 milyon), Skyfall ($ 803 milyon), Hobbit ($ 715 milyon) ve… Buz Devri: Kıtalar Ayrılıyor ($ 714 milyon).

It is a little frustrating, especially in hindsight and considering the consequences, that Hollywood reacted to Yenilmezler by attempting to replicate the MCU but yet (just three years later) reacted to Öfkeli 7 (1.515 milyar dolar) ve Jurassic Dünya ($1.671 billion) by still trying to replicate the MCU even as yerçekimi brüt Man of Steel ve Wolverine barely earned more overseas ($282 million versus $275 million) than Wall Street Kurt. One (of many) downside of SEO-driven media coverage is that you’d get the impression that Karınca Adam ve Wasp ($619 million in 2018) was a bigger hit than Jurassic Dünyası: Fallen Kingdom (1.308 milyar dolar).

Presuming a continued 51/49 domestic/overseas split, we’re looking at a current $480 million worldwide total, meaning the film should pass $500 million worldwide tomorrow. When that happens, it’ll pass Venom: Katliam Olsun to become the fourth-biggest pandemic-era Hollywood flick (and, since it’s past Yaşam için Kötü Çocuklar’s $430 million cume, fourth among anything outside of China released in 2020, 2021 and 2022) behind F9 (721 milyon dolar), Ölmeye Zaman Yok (774 milyon dolar) ve Örümcek Adam: Eve Dönüş Yok (which arrives on VOD today as it nears $800 million domestic and $1.9 billion worldwide). And with a gross just above Changjin Gölü 2'de Savaş (480 milyon dolar), Batman is now 2022’s biggest global grosser.

It has already passed Godzilla Vs. Kongo ($468 million in 2021) to become Warner Bros.’ biggest pandemic-era global grosser. It has, in terms of pre-Covid WB flicks, out-grossed everything in 2019 save for joker ($1.073 billion in late 2019) and is just their third-biggest grosser since Aquaman'imi ($1.148 billion in late 2018). No, this doesn’t mean that the likes of Matrix Dirilişleri, İntihar Kadrosu ve Space Jam: Yeni Bir Miras ($156-$168 million worldwide on $150 million-$190 million budgets) would have been substantially bigger hits sans the HBO Max variable, but this justifies a return to at least a 45-day theatrical window.

Among all Covid-era releases, Batman is past the aforementioned Hollywood flicks and everything from China save for Dedektif Çin Mahallesi 3 (685 milyon dolar), Merhaba anne (835 milyon dolar) ve Changjin Gölü'ndeki Savaş ($905 million). It’ll outgross the third Dedektif Chinatown but the other two are still up in the air. Fun fact: the Dedektif Chinatown trilogy earned more in China ($1.352 billion) than Chris Nolan’s Kara Şövalye trilogy earned ($1.187 billion) in North America. Yes, Batman opens in China on Friday, but what that’ll be worth is very much a coin toss both due to worsening Covid conditions and the unpredictability of Hollywood movies performing in China since 2019.

In pre-Covid times, a DC or Marvel solo superhero movie was good for $90-$125 million, with some in 2018/2019 like Aquaman, Venom ve Kaptan Marvel soaring well past that. But in 2022, when Marvel isn’t playing in China and even Matrix Dirilişleri earns $14 million, Warner is hopefully smart enough to know that China should be treated like a cherry on top rather than a core ingredient of the sundae. With around $265 million domestic and $515 million worldwide heading into its opening day in China, Matt Reeves and Peter Craig'S $ 185 milyon Batman is already a hit no matter where it goes from here.
