Just to let you guys know, The Avengers just made $80.5 million on a Friday; on track to make $175+ million on an opening weekend.
You think TDKR can beat that without 3d releases?

That kind of stinks
WB is probably mad at Nolan right now for not letting them put TDKR in 3D. But they'll still make a ton of cash on this movie even without it.
I certainly hope there aren't people out there complaining about TDKR not being shown in 3D. Nolan made a wise choice and I think this films deserves to be seen how it's supposed to, in full IMAX 2D. I'm hoping the IMAX sales alone make up for the lack of pricing on 3D ticket sales, because let's face it, 3D blows and takes more money out of your pocket for doing so.
I have faith that, whilst this film won't make the additional amount of revenue, due to ticket pricing, I reckon a good portion of it would be made up by IMAX ticket sales and more bums in seats, so it could be a close comparison to the opening weekend of The Avengers. Being at the height of summer, it should hold true with retention as well, meaning that there will be many repeat viewings from people throughout the summer break.
I don't get it, surely people chose to watch Avengers in 3d because they had the option to, not because it is 3d. You mean to tell me if Avengers was in 2d it still wouldn't have broken the box office? I call BS.
Or is the price for 3d films significantly higher in the US vs 2d films.
Very good numbers for The Avengers.
I do wonder if WB will double up the promo/marketing for TDKR internationally. Batman is not that big in some markets overseas, right?
