LOS ANGELES, United States — “
The Batman” continued swinging from the rooftops this weekend, taking in an
estimated box-office-leading $36.8 million in North American theaters while
performing strongly overseas, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.

The dark and gritty superhero film from
Warner Bros., starring Robert Pattinson in the title role, has passed the $300 million
mark domestically in just three weeks, while nearly doubling that figure
overseas, with $598 million.
In second place for the Friday-through-Sunday period
was another dark film, the fantasy animation “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” from
Crunchyroll/Funimation (95 percent owned by Sony Pictures). It tells the story
of a young student who becomes a sorcerer and battles a cursed spirit.
Already hugely popular in Japan, it took in $17.7
million in North American theaters, which David A. Gross of
Franchise Entertainment Research called “a terrific opening” for a rare anime in wide
release.
The third spot went to Sony’s “Uncharted,” at $8
million. Tom Holland plays an Indiana Jones-style treasure hunter.
In fourth was another new release, a slasher film
from indie studio A24 simply titled “X,” at $4.4 million. While that total was
relatively modest, Gross said, “Horror is not expensive to make” and “X,” which
has enjoyed good reviews, “should recover its costs and make a few dollars.”
In fifth place was Metro Goldwyn Mayer’s
road-trip comedy “Dog,” at $4.1 million. It stars Channing Tatum.
Rounding out the top 10 were:
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” ($3.2 million)
“Death on the Nile” ($1.7 million)
“The Outfit” ($1.5 million)
“The Kashmir Files” ($1.5 million)
“Sing 2” ($1.5 million)
