Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Robert Pattinson\u2019s gritty superhero adventure \u201cThe Batman\u201d is the No. 1 movie at the domestic box office for the third weekend in a row. That feat is not surprising because March has been relatively light in terms of new releases. But even though there hasn\u2019t been much competition, \u201cThe Batman\u201d has managed impressive week-to-week holds.<\/p>\n

The movie collected $36.8 million from 4,302 theaters between Friday and Sunday, a 45% decline from last weekend. Those ticket sales push \u201cThe Batman\u201d past $300 million in North America, making the comic book adaptation only the second pandemic-era movie to cross that benchmark.<\/p>\n

Two new movies opened nationwide, but Funimation\u2019s manga adaptation \u201cJujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie\u201d and A24\u2019s slasher thriller \u201cX\u201d did not pose a threat to \u201cThe Batman.\u201d<\/p>\n

In second place on domestic box office charts, the PG-13 \u201cJujutsu Kaisen 0\u201d scored an impressive $17.6 million from 2,340 locations in its debut. Anime films have been increasingly popular in North America, and Funimation, which recently rebranded as Crunchyroll and is mostly owned by Sony Pictures, has been at the forefront. Last spring, the film company opened \u201cDemon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train\u201d to $21.2 million, a huge result at a time when cinemas were operating at reduced capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a terrific opening,\u201d says David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. \u201cReviews are exceptional for this and for all of Funimation\/Crunchyroll movies. They have not missed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cX\u201d landed in fourth place with $4.2 million from 2,865 venues, a quieter start given the loud praise after its South by Southwest premiere.<\/p>\n

However, Gross points out, \u201cHorror is not expensive to make \u2014 clever cinematography, editing and sound design go a very long way. \u2018X\u2019 should recover its costs and make a few dollars after all ancillary money is counted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ti West wrote and directed \u201cX,\u201d which follows actors making an adult film in rural Texas. But once their reclusive hosts, an elderly couple, catches the guests in the act, and things get messy.<\/p>\n

Variety\u2019s chief film critic Owen Gleiberman promises that \u201cX\u201d will \u201cearn your fear.\u201d He calls the movie \u201ca deliberate, loving, and meticulous homage that isn\u2019t simply trying to cash in on the legacy of the greatest horror film of the last half century.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Holland\u2019s video game adaptation \u201cUncharted,\u201d now in its fifth weekend of release, pulled ahead of \u201cX\u201d on box office charts to secure third place. The Sony Pictures action-adventure scored $8 million from 3,700 theaters, taking \u201cUncharted\u201d to $125.8 million at the domestic box office.<\/p>\n

Channing Tatum\u2019s canine adventure \u201cDog\u201d took the No. 5 spot, pushing \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d out of the top five for the first time in 14 weeks. \u201cDog\u201d lapped up $4 million from 3,307 locations, bringing the film\u2019s North American total to $54 million. It\u2019s a great result for MGM\u2019s road-trip buddy comedy, which cost only $15 million to make.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s encouraging evidence that studios can still make non-superhero movies that turn a profit \u2014 as long as budgets don\u2019t get out of hand. And \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d \u2014 even after three and a half months on the big screen \u2014 was no slouch, pulling in $3.2 million from 2,585 screens.<\/p>\n

After this weekend, the comic book epic has generated $797.56 million at the domestic box office. It\u2019s only a stones throw from becoming the third movie in history to cross $800 million in North America following \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d ($858 million) and \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d ($936 million).<\/p>\n
