LOS ANGELES - The Batman soared to a $128.5 million opening weekend for the second-biggest debut of any film released since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, according to industry estimates released Sunday.
Warner Bros.' nearly 3-hour reboot of its caped crusader franchise trails only Marvel's "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which made about $260 million in its opening weekend in December. "The Batman" was directed by Matt Reeves and stars Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano and Colin Farrell.
"Uncharted" was a distant second place with $11 million Friday through Sunday in its third week of release, Comscore reported.
