THE BATMAN Flies Past $750 Million Worldwide Ahead Of HBO Max Debut; MORBIUS De-Fanged

The Batman has managed to pass the $750 million mark at the global box office ahead of its HBO Max debut tomorrow, but there'll be no Easter resurrection for Morbius, which is now a bonafide flop.

The Batman is set to make its streaming debut when it arrives in HBO Max tomorrow, but Matt Reeves' reboot is still performing well in theaters. The same can't be said for Sony Pictures' Morbius, however.

The Dark Knight's latest solo outing has managed to hold on to its spot as the highest-grossing movie of the year (globally and domestically), hitting $751.1 million worldwide ($386.1M international; $365M in North America).

“The incredible response we’ve seen at theaters across the country is a testament to both the enduring power of this iconic DC Super Hero and the huge appetite out there to experience great movies on the big screen," WB’s President of Domestic Distribution Jeff Goldstein said of the BO update. "We congratulate everyone involved on reaching this impressive milestone.”

“The Batman performs on every level, delivering critical praise and big crowds in every market around the globe. We’re so proud of the film and so happy it continues to strike a chord with audiences everywhere,” added Added Andrew Cripps, President of International Distribution.

There will be no miraculous Easter resurrections for The Living Vampire, though. The Jared Leto-let Marvel Comics adaptation took in just $6.7M in its third weekend on release (a -54% drop from last weekend), for a global cume of $146.4M. As things stand, the movie is eyeing a $155M-$175M worldwide run.

While the studio obviously won't be pleased with this performance, it's unlikely to deter plans for the SPUMC, or "VenomVerse." Of course, it might be a different story if Kraven the Hunter or Madame Webb were to flop!

@AmazingFILMporg - Off-topic but Doctor Strange is looking at 170 to 205. That is so strange to me,doctor. A Doctor Strange movie… Can potentially pass the avengers. I hope the next avengers movie avenges it.

@AnthonyVonGeek - That scene where Morbius demonstrates his karate moves, before climbing into a bed with a grown man playing a child, who he paid a troll to have sex with, came out of nowhere. But still not the worst scene in the film.

@regularmovieguy - I'm like 99% certain you mean The Batman, but that 1% of me is thinking it's Morbius, and it's just that scene of Hell from Event Horizon.

Liberate tutemet ex inferis.

“Event Horizon? The Batman? Or Morbius? Refer to last comment, in the form of throwing another movie into the mix”

No Superman
No Wonder Woman
No Justice League tease
No $450M budget
No biggest marketing campaing in DC's history

But in the middle of a pandemic and a war

Maybe now, 6 years later, we can start understanding the magnitude of how pathetic BvS BO numbers were

@TheHumanSpider2 - why do you have to start? You are no better than snyder cultists.
dracula

@TheHumanSpider2 - plus made almost as much in 45 days, instead of a full run
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 4/17/2022, 1:37 PM
@rebellion - Because I'm so freaking tired of them.
You cant say anything positive about The Batman on social media without the cult coming to say "it was a flop", what flop!? [frick]ing delusional insane buffoons!



@dracula - Yes

@eagc1995 - It doesnt make any sense, that is what pissed me the most.
dracula
dracula - 4/17/2022, 1:45 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - man the cult is delusional

Even with pandemic costs almost doubling the budget, it still had a smaller budget than man of steel and it made more money than man of steel

eagc1995 - 4/17/2022, 1:46 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - Exactly, If that's their logic, then they cant say these two were successes either based on what they are claiming

Ps: In case anyone wondering, what we weere talking about as by some reason either by a glitch or something my comment doesnt show up by whatever reason, so what i said was

"By their logic MoS and BvS were flops too cause they didnt reach 1 Billion"

I had my nitpicks with The Batman but I’m glad it’s done so well. Matt Reeves is one of my favorite directors out there, so I’m happy to be getting what’s seems to be at least a trilogy from him.
