Not only has The Batman won the domestic weekend box office for the third week in a row, but it has also become only the second film in the pandemic era to cross $300 million in North America.
As reported by Variety, The Batman collected another $36.8 million domestically and $49.1 million internationally for a global total that has now reached $598 million. The film opened in China and only managed to earn $12.1 million, most likely in part due to the fact that 43% of the country's theaters are closed because of COVID-19 cases.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 placed second in its debut, bringing in $17.6 million domestically. It didn't quite reach the levels of Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train's $21.2 million opening, but it's an impressive performance nonetheless.
In our Jujutsu Kaisen 0 review, we said that it "delivers dazzling animation, memorable characters, and a poignant story that expands the world of the anime."
Uncharted took third place with $8 million, which helped make its domestic total reach $125.8 million. Globally, Uncharted is up to $337.3 million. In fourth place stands X, a '70s slasher throwback that we gave an 8/10.
"While its gnarly payoffs eventually peter out, X is filled with fun and intense setups that harken back to classic slasher fare," Our X review reads.
Channing Tatum's Dog rounded out the top 5 with $4 million and pushed Spider-Man: No Way Home - the other film to cross $300 million at the domestic box office - out of the top five for the first time since it debuted in theaters 14 weeks ago. Despite not making the top five, Spider-Man: No Way Home still earned $3.2 million in North America.
