'The Batman' ឈរ​នៅ​កំពូល​រឿង "Amazing Spider-Man" ដោយ​រក​បាន 273 លាន​ដុល្លារ Cume

With no Hollywood competition of note, since STX delayed Guy Ritchie’s ប្រតិបត្តិការសំណាង, Warner Bros. Batman topped the domestic box office for the third Friday in a row. Matt Reeves and Peter Craig’s Dark Knight Detective story, starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz and Paul Dano, earned another $10.6 million and dropped just 43% from last Friday. That positions the $185 million tentpole for a $39 million weekend (-41%) as it races past the $300 million mark on day 17. Its current total is now $273 million, right between The Spider Spider-Man ដ៏អស្ចារ្យ (៧០០ លានដុល្លារនៅឆ្នាំ ២០១៩) និង បុរស​ដែកថែប ($291 million in 2013). After tomorrow, it’ll be the second-biggest straight-up reboot in North America behind only អង្គការ SPIDER របស់ Man: ការវិលត្រឡប់មកវិញ (which, thanks to an MCU connection and an Iron Man supporting appearance, earned $334 million in 2017).

That possible 41% drop in weekend three would put it awfully close to the smallest third-weekend superhero/comic book drops. As I noted when Shazam! dropped just 32% in weekend three (thanks to Easter weekend), Batman’s 41% drop will sit alongside the likes of Shazam! (-32% in 2019), អាហ្គាម៉ា (-40% in 2018), ពីងពាង - បុរស: ចូលទៅ Spider-Verse (+15% in 2018), ស្ត្រី​អស្ចារ្យ (-29% in 2017), ម៉ាទ្រីស (-20% in 1999), Blade (-21% whose third weekend was Labor Day in 1998), ក្អែក (-34% whose third weekend was Memorial Day in 1994), រ៉ូប៊ីនហ៊ូដៈព្រះអង្គម្ចាស់ចោរ។ (-28% in 1991), វ័យជំទង់ជំងឺ Ninja អណ្តើក (-25% in 1990) and រឿង Batman (-36% in 1989). That’s damn impressive and I’m expecting ទីក្រុងបាត់ to be less of an issue for Batman than was Avengers: Endgame ទៅ Shazam.

Whether due to being the only game in town, being a genuinely well-liked and well-reviewed tentpole event or probably a little of both, Batman is again showing that the right movie can still party like it’s 2018. Sure, it’s bombing in China ($8.5 million in two days), but that’s due to circumstances beyond WB’s control (namely an upswing in Covid and years of decreased interest for Hollywood exports). Besides, presuming a continued 51/49 domestic/overseas split, Batman is now at $543 million worldwide and might be just past $600 million worldwide tomorrow. Sure, we may be looking at a global cume closer to $700 million than $800 million, but A) the legs means we can’t be sure yet and B) it’ll have tripled its budget by tonight. So, yeah, it’s doing just fine.

Speaking of “doing fine without China,” Sony’s មិនអាចដឹងបាន has earned $9 million in China thus far, but earned another $2.27 million (-7%) on its fifth Friday for a likely $8.74 million (-6%) weekend. That’ll give the Tom Holland/Mark Wahlberg actioner a $127 million domestic cume, putting it within striking distance of the (unadjusted) domestic gross of Raider ផ្នូរ (131 លានដុល្លារក្នុងឆ្នាំ 2001) ។ ខ្សែភាពយន្តនេះក៏នឹងឆ្លងកាត់ផងដែរ។ Ghostbusters: Afterlife ក្នុងស្រុកដោយបង្ហាញពីតម្លៃនៃ "អ្នករារាំងលើថវិកា" នាពេលថ្មីៗនេះរបស់ Tom Rothman (រួមទាំង 75 លានដុល្លារនាពេលខាងមុខ។ មូបារ៉ាស។). When you don’t cost $200 million, you don’t need every territory to deliver best-case-scenario results. Sure, Spider-Man: គ្មានផ្លូវនៅផ្ទះទេ cost around $200 million, but it’ll pass $800 million domestic next weekend (after a $3.61 million 14th-weekend gross) and should be close to $1.88 billion worldwide.

MGM is now part of the Amazon empire, which I guess means សត្វឆ្កែ will get sequels, spin-offs and prequels. I jest, I hope, but the Channing Tatum-directed drama earned another $1.13 million (-18%) on Friday for a $4.3 million (-18%) weekend and $54.4 million 31-day total. Again, like with Spidey, the debut on PVOD has done nothing to stop theatrical momentum, and the $15 million flick has now out-grossed ផ្ទះហ្គីជី ($53.9 million) as the biggest-grossing straight-up drama since ស្ត្រីតូច (២១ លានដុល្លារ) in late 2019. Universal’s ច្រៀង ២ will earn $1.77 million (+10%) in weekend 13, bringing its cume to $159 million and reminding us that Pixar’s ងាកក្រហម would have kicked butt theatrically. The sixth ស្រែក film has been dated for March 31, 2023, and ស្រែក will earn $258,000 (-45%) for a $81.4 million domestic total.
