Batman Begins with $46.9 Million Failure

(Filed under: Business)

Batman Begins opened in theaters this weekend, raking in $46.9 million, falling $10 million below analysts' most conservative estimates. Studio execs are hanging their heads and thinking about writing off the 2005 movie season.

Warner Bros. is trying to be positive, looking to the $71.1 million it has made since it opened on Wednesday. Of course that still falls short of the dismal 1997 Batman & Robin that practically killed the series.

On the other hand the critics seem to enjoy it.
