'The Batman' Box Office India, Day 2: Robert Pattinson's superhero film maintains momentum

Superhero films have enjoyed a fan following in India over the years, and the collections of films like Avengers: Endgame and the recent Spider-Man: No Way Home are proof.  The former had minted over Rs 300 crore in the country, while the latter entered the Rs 200 crore club even amid the pandemic.

The latest superhero film to hit the theatres was The Batman. However, the film has not opened on the level of the aforementioned movies, but it is attracting footfalls at the ticket windows. The Robert Pattinson film has earned around 15 crores at the Indian box office in two days.

The Batman, Day 2 Box Office collections India

The Batman, as per a report on Box office India, earned around Rs 8 crore at the Indian box office on Saturday. The report pegged the collections as 'solid.'

The movie has been performing the best in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai. The Batman is likely to finish its weekend around Rs 23 crore, which includes collections of Rs 75 lakh in paid previews on Thursday and around Rs 6 crore on Day 1.

This can be said to be a 'good' tally for a film that was not an out-and-out action superhero movie. That was the reason it had a 'limited appeal' apart from the metros. That was also why the regional dubbed versions were not doing well. The majority of the collections came in for the English version, unlike some of the other Hollywood movies, the report added. 

As per the reports in international media, the day 1 worldwide collection of the film was $57 million.
