THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE Finally Passes $300 Million Worldwide

It’s been two months since The LEGO Batman Movie opened in theaters. The LEGO Movie spin-off earned rave reviews and positive word of mouth from audiences. However, it has had noticeably weaker box office legs than its predecessor. The original movie grossed $257.7 million domestic and $469 million worldwide, an amount that this movie won’t match.

Still, LEGO Batman was only made for $80 million, so it’ll churn a solid profit anyways. And you have to consider the increased competition this year. Not to mention how much the film is making on merchandise.

This weekend, LEGO Batman finally surpassed the $300 million mark worldwide. It’s at $172.9 million domestic and $127.7 million overseas, for a worldwide total of $300.6 million. The film is getting close to the end of its theatrical run now, and with many other big films now playing and opening soon, this number probably won’t go much higher.

Again, that’s a solid number for a film with a small budget, even if it is less than the first LEGO Movie.

Stay tuned for more box office updates as we have them.
