TheBatman, which does not land on HBO Max until next week, has grossed a huge $358 million domestically and $376 million overseas. With $735 million worldwide, it’s currently the highest grossing movie of the year at the domestic and global box office.
” powered to $71 million in its domestic box office debut, a hopeful indication that family audiences are feeling better about returning to movie theaters.
“This is an outstanding opening,” said David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. “With solid reviews and very good audience scores, ‘Sonic’ is going to have a strong run.” “Sonic the Hedgehog” continues a box office hot streak for Paramount, marking the studio’s fourth movie in 2022 to open in first place. The others were “The Lost City,” “Scream” and “Jackass Forever.” It’s a needed rebound since Paramount largely stepped back from theatrical releases during the pandemic, instead selling titles like Aaron Sorkin’s courtroom drama “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” Eddie Murphy’s comedy sequel “Coming 2 America” and Michael B.
Overseas, the R-rated “Ambulance” earned $22.4 million from 68 international markets, boosting the film’s global tally to $31.1 million. Ticket buyers, at least those in North America, appeared to enjoy the film, which secured an “A-” CinemaScore. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Eiza Gonzalez , the movie follows two adoptive siblings turned bank robbers, who hijack an ambulance and hold the vehicle’s occupants hostage.
“There used to be a lot of these movies at the theater,” Gross says of crime thrillers. “But today’s audiences want something special every time — the bar is set higher now.” He adds, “At a cost of $40 million plus marketing, the film is unlikely to recover costs, even with better numbers overseas and good ancillary value on Peacock.”
