Cineworld and Regal Cinemas have set an exclusive plan with Warner Bros in the US and UK and means that it is looking like The Batman will be the first theatre only blockbuster release of 2022. This from Screen Daily:

Cineworld has agreed a multi-year agreement under which films from Warner Bros. Pictures Group will be exhibited in Cineworld’s cinemas in the US as of their opening. Beginning in 2022, Warner Bros. theatrical releases will have a 45-day window of theatrical exclusivity, with certain provisions. This is a reduction on the existing US window of around 75 days. The exhibitor would not elaborate on what these “provisions” involve.

In the UK, Warner Bros. and Cineworld have agreed to an exclusive theatrical window of 31 days prior to PVoD, and an extended window of 45 days for films that open to an agreed upon box-office threshold. This is a significant reduction on 2019, when the average window across all UK releases was 109 days.

Variety recently spoke with Warner Media’s Ann Sarnoff given the release of Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” and this is what she had to say about the future of the DC Universe and gives us a little tidbit on “The Batman“:

Instead, Sarnoff believes that the future of DC is more than just movies. She’s excited about a multi-platform future, one that sees Batman, Superman, the Flash, and other Justice League members popping up on streaming shows, video games, television spinoffs, and big screen outings. It’s a vision that echoes what Marvel has been doing with its Avengers characters, taking superheroes like the Vision, the Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye and Loki, who have previously appeared only in movies, and giving them streaming shows of their own. 

…

Looking at the DC slate, there seems to be an emphasis on creating opportunities for diverse creators and and characters. … Is there a concerted effort to take the brand in a more inclusive direction?

It’s super important to me and it’s in line with what we want to do. We want to branch out and let creators interpret parts of the universe in unique and special ways. … Matt Reeves just finished filming “The Batman” against the odds of COVID. We’re so excited to finish that movie and have people see it, because Matt’s take on Batman is different than other takes. Even familiar characters have lots of possibilities.

This is a nice little snapshot of Rob’s scenes from The Devil All The Time. Never thought I’d call Rob a creep, but there you have it.

Charlie Carver talks The Batman with Wonderland Magazine

Wonderland recently interviewed Charlie Carver who had not very much to say about The Batman, but did give us this:

Next up for Carver will be the much-hyped The Batman alongside Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz. As excited as he is about it, he’s sworn to secrecy about everything but no doubt our patience will be rewarded when it’s released in 2022. “It’s been fun getting to do stunts, I’ll tell you that much,” toys Carver cheekily. We’ll take that.
