With this result, “The Batman” is now in striking range of the domestic totals of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” ($330 million) and “Aquaman” ($335 million) as it still has one more weekend with major premium format support before the release of Sony/Marvel’s “Morbius” on April 1.

The one blemish on the film’s numbers was its release in China this weekend, opening to just $12 million as it added $49 million from international markets.

This weak opening is due in large part to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the country, which just reported its first deaths related to the virus in over a year.

Because of the outbreak, 43% of cinemas are closed, including in major cities like Shanghai. Despite this, “The Batman” will still cross the $600 million global mark on Monday and is on pace to pass the global runs of 2021 blockbusters like “F9” and “No Time to Die.” Unlike those films, which leaned more on overseas grosses, “The Batman” has seen its domestic/international split fall nearly even with $298 million overseas and $300 million in North America.
