Batman Begins has made its debut at number one at the North American box office, taking $49.9m (£25.7m).![]() Christian Bale stars as Batman in the new film But the film's performance failed to halt a long-term decline in box office takings in the US and Canada, which marks the worst slump for 20 years. The top 12 films registered a 1.6% downturn on the same weekend in 2004. Hilary Duff's new film The Perfect Man was the other major new release at seven, making less than half of her 2004 film A Cinderella Story. Box office analysts are considering whether a growing preference for watching films at home is eroding cinema performance. But Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Brothers, says this is a trend which will require further observation. "We need to look at that, but I believe you can't do it by looking at six months. I think you have to take a couple of years to look at it," he said. Mr Fellman added that he did not believe there has been a strong enough roster of films in recent months. TOP FIVE US FILMS
Sequel "Even though there were and will continue to be strong movies in the summer, I don't think there have been enough of them," he said. Batman Begins, which stars Welsh actor Christian Bale in the lead role, is forecast to end its first week on $85 million, compared to a range of $59 million to $77 million for the previous outings in their initial period of release. Dan Fellman, responsible for the distribution of Batman Begins, said the studio was likely to produce a sequel on the strength of this film's performance. |
