The Dark Knight 8:00 PM Showings like Iron Man?

[Captain Planet!]

Do you guys think it would be good if TDK premiered at 8 PM on Thursday like IM? I think it'd be a good move. And I might not be able to see it for a week or two if they don't have early showings (midnight doesn't count), and I can't wait that long.

I'm just curious. So whats it about?

 

[Venom 1988]

Its from an episode of Spectacular Spider-Man, where Pete "sprays a water gun" at Liz Allen.

 

[D4rkShaDoWz]

I would definitely go. I was so happy that Iron Man did it because I didn't have to miss school the next day. In this case, it's the summer but it still would be nice to see a movie and not get out at like 4:00 AM.

 

[TinkTonks]

I would be happy with 8 o'clock showings. There's nothing worse than getting all hyped about going to a midnight showing, getting out close to 3 AM and having to go to work at 7 AM. Not cool

Looks like hes doing something else...

IF my theater did an 8:00pm showing, I'd go for that one. Otherwise, midnight all the way!

 

[BDS23420]

no stick to the original date!

 

[redfirebird2008]

Hurts the opening weekend number, so I say "NO." I won't be seeing it until Saturday anyway so it doesn't matter to me one way or another. I'm flying to another city so I can see it in IMAX.

 

[StillTheKing]

If it cuts down on the chaos that midnight will be then yes.
I think midnight will be fun but it will be chaos, Ill probably have to camp out a couple hours to get good seats

Bad for: People who can't go and want to avoid spoilers.

Good for: Everyone else.

So I say YES, since I was able to go to an 8:00 Iron Man showing.

 

[Spidey 2007]

bad part about it.. tickets go on sale june 20th... what if they announce it a week or so before it comes out, liek iron man.


hell i guess i could go to the 8pm then go directly to the midnighter! now that i think about it.. thats awesome.

hell yes, i really sincerly hope they do...

Bad part about an evening showing is that tickets are full price whereas matinee showings are cheaper.

It didn't for "Iron Man".

But I say stick with the 18th. Besides, midnight shows are more fun.

 

[StorminNorman]

WB has the habit of releasing movies the Wednesday before the actual release date...

 

[Spidey 2007]

i would easily pay 20 dollars a ticket to see this movie. hell 30 a ticket.

Actually it did. Iron Man ended up with $98 million instead of $102 million. The difference between the two in headlines is pretty significant. I really would like to see TDK reach $100 million opening weekend, and opening it on Friday at midnight makes a big difference. A lot of people in the press gave BB crap for "only" making $48 million in its opening weekend, but that's because they ignored the fact that it opened on a Wednesday and had almost $25 million in the bank before Friday ever started.

Hmm, this is like asking a fat kid if he wants cake.

Lol, exactly

 

[JokerCam]

I hope in England they do previews on the 18th because we have to wait for a whole week after the US has seen it and i wont be able to come on here due to all the spoilers about!

 

[Nightmare]

Please, stay on topic.

how mean...

 

[JokerLedger]

No... I already sent a letter in to request that day off and got it so please don't change it!!!
