THE BATMAN Loses Its #1 Spot To THE LOST CITY As North American Box Office Continues Post-COVID Recovery

The Batman enjoyed three weeks at #1, but The Lost City dethroned it this weekend to take the top spot at the North American box office. With an impressive $31 million haul, the action comedy managed to draw in a largely female audience, and a 76% score on Rotten Tomatoes seems to have increased interest.

During its fourth weekend of release, the World's Greatest Detective's latest movie netted an estimated $18.7 million, taking its current domestic total to an impressive $330 million. 

Of course, perhaps the biggest winner was Spider-Man: No Way Home. As we reported last night, the Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios blockbuster remains in the Top 10 and has now passed the $800 million mark. April looks set to be a busy month as Morbius, Sonic the Hedgehog, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, and more are all on the way. 

It's definitely beginning to feel like the box office is bouncing back after suffering through the "pandemic era," and these numbers are a little cloer to what we're used to seeing at this time of year.

Here's this weekend's top 10 courtesy of Deadline:

1. The Lost City ($31 million)
2. The Batman ($18.7 million)
3. RRR ($9.5 million)
4. Uncharted ($4.6 million) 
5. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 ($4.58 million)
6. X ($2.2 million)
7. Dog ($2.1 million)
8. Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.85 million)
9. Sing 2 ($1.28 million)
10. Infinite Storm ($751,200)
