The ‘Batman’ movie rises to the big box office opening

As for the theater industry, the box office hit of “Batman” is another step toward normalcy after two years of stopping and starting due to the pandemic.

The Batman movie, which grossed $128.5 million, is also impressive considering that the movie was long — and decidedly bleak.

Recorded at 2 hours 56 minutes, it is one of the longest running superhero films ever. This extended running time makes it difficult to maximize shows, and thus ticket sales. Also, the movie’s dark, violent tone isn’t exactly family-friendly, so it’s likely to deter some ticket buyers from bringing kids to the movie.

Despite all this, she clearly found an audience, which was likely helped by the stellar reviews.

“The Batman movie delivers a powerful vision of the Dark Knight that die-hard fans have always desired,” he said.

So what’s next for Batman’s box office adventures? Probably more money.

March is wide open for the movie since there isn’t much competition for the rest of the month. Sony’s next potential big money maker, “Morbius,” won’t hit theaters until April 1.
