Whereas The Batman's only competition for the next month is Morbius and Sonic 2
Anyway, we told you it wasn't gonna hit 1 Billion, and it didn't. Even if China and Russia were at full capacity it wouldn't hit 1 Billion. Nobody ever thought the movie would bomb. What we knew was that even with good reviews, this Batman movie marketed itself like it was The Dark Knight all over again, and that audiences wouldn't go crazy over it. And they didn't. Two Weekends and it still hasn't crossed 500 million.
Which isn't awful, but is quite average.
China was a small percentage of how much money the Nolan Trilogy made.
