LEGO Batman Movie Becomes Top Grossing Movie of 2017
March 11, 2017 by Douglas A. McIntyre“The LEGO Batman Movie” has legs. It moved into the top spot as the number one film based on domestic box office sales so far in 2017. Total sales were $151.2 billion as of March 10.
“The LEGO Batman Movie” has moved ahead of horror thriller “Split,” which has taken in $134.6 million, and “Logan,” which has posted sales of $114.8 million. “Logan” likely will pass the other two in time, because it was released more recently, on March 3. LEGO Batman launched on February 9 and “Split” on January 20.
The top 95 movies released so far this year have a combined box office take of $1.13 billion in the United States. That is an average of $12 million. Only four have taken in over $100 million so far. Add “Fifty Shades Darker,” which has brought in $111.2 million, to the top three.
“The LEGO Batman Movie” has been very well reviewed, both by critics and theatergoers. Rotten Tomatoes says 91% of critics gave positive reviews, and 84% of viewers say they liked it.
The movie was released by the Warner Bros. division of Time Warner Inc. (NYSE: TWX).
