The protector of Gotham City is once again flying high atop the box office charts, as Warner Bros./DC’s “The Batman” has scored a spectacular $134 million opening weekend from 4,417 theaters after final weekend results came in Monday, becoming only the second film since the pandemic began to open to over $100 million.
The Matt Reeves-directed blockbuster is set to be the biggest theatrical hit for Warner Bros. since the DC film featuring Batman’s nemesis “Joker” was in theaters in fall 2019. And for movie theaters, it’s a much-needed boost in business after theaters were closed in 2020 and spent much of the past year trying to get back on their feet as the box office recovered in fits and starts.
