      <title>Newest 'Batman' soars to huge opening in N American theaters
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30280470/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Los Angeles. Warner Bros' dark new film "The Batman" has soared to the top in North American theaters to become the year's first film to exceed $100 million in its opening weekend, industry analysts said Sunday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The latest in a growing collection of Batman films -- this one a particularly gloomy version, starring English actor Robert Pattinson -- took in an estimated $128.5 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period, Exhibitor Relations reported. The movie cost an estimated $200 million to produce.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sony's "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is the only other pandemic-era film to surpass the $100 million mark in its opening weekend, analysts said. It logged a resounding $260 million in ticket sales when it opened in December.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"The Batman" has the Caped Crusader tracking down a serial killer (Paul Dano) while battling crime, corruption -- and his own demons. It also stars Zoe Kravitz, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sony adventure film "Uncharted," starring Tom Holland as an Indiana Jones-style treasure hunter, slipped from chart-topper to a distant second, taking in $11 million -- even as its domestic total passed $100 million.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Metro Goldwyn Mayer's buddy comedy "Dog" placed third, taking in $6 million. Channing Tatum plays a war-wounded US Army Ranger who agrees to drive Lulu, a dog injured while working with the military in Afghanistan, to her former handler's funeral.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In fourth was persistently popular "Spider-Man," with $4.4 million in domestic ticket sales in its 12th week out. Its international earnings are now just north of $1 billion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And in fifth, down one spot from last week, was 20th Century's murder mystery "Death on the Nile," at $2.7 million. It stars Kenneth Branagh (who also directs) as the quirky Belgian detective Hercule Poirot in this latest take on the 1937 Agatha Christie novel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rounding out the top 10 were:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Sing 2" ($1.5 million)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Jackass Forever" ($1.4 million)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Cyrano" ($683,000)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Scream" ($570,000)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Marry Me" ($530,000)&lt;/p&gt;
