The TDKR Box Office Thread II - Page 2

Crimson King · 05-17-2012, 08:26 AM

It's shallow, yes, but there's something to be said for the Hemsworth/Evans factor in bringing women in to see Avengers. And Hiddleston, for that matter. Those three brought in a lot of non-comic-reading female fans.

Not sure TDKR has the same advantage with women.

metaphysician · 05-17-2012, 08:38 AM

And comparisons with TDK are no sure thing, because TDK had Ledger. Does TDKR have any singular actor who'd provide the same draw to the female audience?

Blue Sugar · 05-17-2012, 09:07 AM

I think Anne Hathaway as Catwoman will bring some female audience.

kvz5 · 05-17-2012, 09:16 AM

Bale, Hardy and Joe are not bringing in females? I can't speak for the rest but this female will be seeing any movie that has those 3 even if it wasn't TDKR. And in terms of online presence (Tumblr, Twitter, etc.) flooded with the younger female demographic, Joe is pretty much the king among all the TDKR and TA actors.

This female agrees.

Yep, JGL is a ladies-man, so to speak, even if he isn't sporting big biceps, broad shoulders and chest. Hardy will also be a draw for the female demographic once he starts doing press rounds like Evans and Hemsworth did.

kvz5 · 05-17-2012, 10:06 AM

It's a shame thought that Bale and Hardy will look like cave men during the TDKR promo rounds. Well maybe cavemen sounds too harsh. More like Jesus Bale and Homeless Hardy.

I guess all hope lies with Joe.

Iceman · 05-17-2012, 10:14 AM

Bale's got it covered by himself. The others are a bonus.

LOL! I don't mind the facial hair, but I definitely prefer them both without.

Joe looks fine at the moment.

the Wankstar · 05-17-2012, 10:16 AM

Yeah JGL is a lady magnet right now

The truth hurts.

Seriously, the summer of the beard is upon us. Even Christopher Nolan is joining in.

kvz5 · 05-17-2012, 10:19 AM

The fact that Bale is the favorite choice for the leading man role at that ****ty mom porn movie Fifty Shades of Gray is a testament to how he got that particular female demographic covered.

Seriously?

DoomsdayApex · 05-17-2012, 10:22 AM

Wha-????

Bale... in 50 Shades of Gray? Oh my.

Catwoman in general is good for that.

I'm convinced a kitten dies everytime someone wishes him for the role but hey it's free publicity. It's not like he would consider it. Honestly I want someone to bring it up to him just because I think his reaction will be oh so priceless.

Ladies like RDJ as well.

TDKR's has plenty of hot guys, it will be fine in that regard. I still don't see 500mil but close enough to it that nobody will be calling it a disappointment.

DoomsdayApex · 05-17-2012, 10:42 AM

I'm envisioning a crossover of gifs involving Christian Bale's goofy eyes/smile during his other Jesus phase and dark_b's avatar of Jennifer Lawrence's disgusted face lol

Check out who just joined the club.

I swear there's a conspiracy to get the TDKR men to cover their beautiful faces with beards.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

the Wankstar · 05-17-2012, 11:13 AM

Bearded Cillian! They must be playoff beards since its almost the home stretch now

I agree. Also, many of my friends have been convinced to go see it, mainly because of Joe.

He's a stud muffin. Especially atm with those new arms.

Liam_H · 05-17-2012, 11:31 AM

All this talk of who can bring in the ladies doesn't really make a difference IMO. Yea some of these actors will draw in some women that wouldn't have seen it otherwise cause they're hot. But I believe most would've seen it regardless because the demographic enjoy these movies more than media gives them credit for. Does a one second Bruce/Tate kiss grab the attention of females more than anything else? I don't think so.

What's going on here?

At this rate, I think we'll see Emma Thomas wearing a fake beard.

He's already done American Psycho, why not?

I wandered into ONTD looking for a particular TDK party post macro (didn't find it

). But God were those girls crazy over Bale back then.

The days of seeing naked Bale getting hot and heavy with someone are over. David O. Russell said Bale's wife doesn't like him doing heavy make out scenes anymore.

Indeed. I remember there were times when there would be at least 3 threads about him every day (even if it's just a walking post). Fun times.

The TDK party posts were the best thing that ever came out of ONTD.
