In what should come as a surprise to no one, WB's The Batman is projected to be a huge hit at the box office this weekend. The movie is expected to make as much as $245 million this weekend worldwide for its first weekend, according to Deadline.

This include projections of $115 million-$125 million in the US and a further $110 million-$120 million from international markets for a total global first-weekend result of $225 million-$245 million.

The Batman was a massively expensive movie to produce, with a budget of $200 million, and that's before what were surely sizable marketing costs. But expectations and anticipation is very high, so it'll be interesting to see how the film lands commercially.
