Box Office

The overall ranking of films at the Italian box office for the first half of the 2021/2022 season is out. A hard blow for Italian productions: only one Italian film managed to gain a space in the top ten: Me contro Te, released last August, a teen comedy starring the two young YouTube stars Sofia Scalia and Luigi Calagna.

The beasts were fantastic and took the top spot: the third installment of J. K.

Despite being savaged by critics as one of the worst Marvel movies ever, Morbius still chalked up respectable earnings of $39. 1 million to debut at number one.

After weeks of absolute domination, The Batman falls to the fourth position in Italy, while Corro da te, a romantic comedy by Riccardo Milano starring Pierfrancesco Favino and Miriam Leone, grosses another €509. 000 and lands on the lowest step of the podium, taking in a total of two million euros.

A hedgehog and a vampire brought down Batman in a week filled with surprising new releases. And the country’s overall box office climbed to over a million in sold tickets and 10 million in receipts for the first time in weeks.

En su tercera semana en cartelera mundial, la historia oscura del hombre murciélago se mantiene muy fuerte en la taquilla, ya que The Batman agregó 25 millones de dólares en 76 mercados internacionales. Esa es una muy buena retención, con España cayendo solo un 24 por ciento, Australia un 31 por ciento y Francia y Brasil un 40 por ciento.

It took the combined star appeal of Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, their surprise screwball comedy chemistry, and the allure of a treasure hunt in exotic jungle locations to topple The Batman. The Lost City, a crowd-pleasing action-adventure-comedy, aided by game performances of Daniel Radcliffe and Brad Pitt, bowed at the top with $31 million.

Not the greatest week for German cinema: only one film reached six figures in ticket sales, all the others in the top ten hovered around half a million. Matt Reeves’ The Batman brought in € 1,24 million and was the sole film that had more than 100.

The Batman continues to run at the Italian box office. For the fourth weekend in a row, it still took home the highest taking in Italy, although 47% lower than seven days earlier.

Proving that anime movies continue to increase their appeal in the United States and Canada, Jujutsu Kaisen O opened strongly and landed second place in the box office charts. But the number two showing of Jujutsu Kaisen O, a film adaptation of Gege Akutami’s manga series revolving around Yuji Itadori, a young student who becomes a jujutsu sorcerer, surprised even some box office analysts.
