Los Angeles (AFP) – “The Batman”, the dark new opus of the adventures of the masked vigilante, remained in first place at the North American box office for the second week in a row, according to provisional figures from the specialized firm Exhibitor Relations published on Sunday.
With 66 million dollars in revenue from Friday to Sunday in the United States and Canada, the film from Warner Bros studios, where Batman is played by British actor Robert Pattinson, now exceeds 238 million in the United States, to which add 224 million internationally. Enough to justify its budget of 200 million dollars.
In second place is still “Uncharted”, an adaptation of the successful video game published by Sony. The film, in which Tom Holland plays a treasure hunter, brought in another $9.2 million this weekend.
Rare fact, it is a concert filmed and broadcast in theaters, that of the flagship group of Korean K-pop BTS, which finds itself in 3rd position. “Permission to Dance on Stage – Seoul,” which aired Saturday, raised $6.8 million, making it the highest-grossing live event at the cinema of all time, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
This is one of three concerts given since Thursday in Seoul by the seven boys of BTS, who mark their return to the stage in South Korea following two years of interruptions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In fourth position ranks “Dog” (5.3 million). The film chronicles the road trip of an army veteran, played by Channing Tatum, who accompanies Lulu, a dog injured while working with the army in Afghanistan, to the funeral of his former master.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” came in at number five (4.1 million) in its 13th week in theaters, grossing $1.1 billion worldwide.
Here’s the rest of the top 10:
6 – “Death on the Nile” (2.5 million)
7 – “All on stage 2” (1.6 million)
8 – “Jackass Forever” (1,1 million)
9 – “Scream” – (445.000)
10 – “Cyrano” – (391,000)
