Batman Box Office History Ahead of Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson's THE BATMAN
In this week’s episode of The Boxoffice Podcast, Daniel Loria, Russ Fischer, and Shawn Robbins dedicate an hour to covering the upcoming release of The Batman. The title is expected to become only the second film of the pandemic to enjoy a $100 million opening weekend, and the hosts discuss the film’s overall box office potential in an otherwise slow month of March. In the feature segment, the hosts look back at the box office and cultural impact of Batman at the movies. They cover the franchise’s biggest hits and missteps ahead of the latest entry hitting screens this weekend.
