The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR Box Office Thread II

[TheNextNolan22]

In my opinion, it's a lock for the biggest opening weekend for a non-3D movie. At least $195-200 million.

Dark Knight Rises Passes 100k Tickets Sold With Weeks Left Before Release

At this rate, The Dark Knight Rises might outgross John Carter before opening night, LOLz!!
The pre-sale numbers for Christopher Nolan's next and — supposedly — last Batman film are a clear bat-signal of success on the horizon!
The demand is soooo ridiculously high that IMAX screens across the country are even selling out $40 triple features that start with Batman Begins, continue with Heath Ledger's Dark Knight, and finish with a midnight premiere of TDKR!!
In our professional opinion, this has less to do with Christian Bale's super-duper heroics and more to do with watching Tom Hardy's bulging muscles and Anne Hathaway's curvaceous leather stylings on the biggest movie screen this side of Gotham!!
Seriously, have you seen pictures of the FIERCE feline cat burglar? She's hotter than a fiddler on a hot tin roof!
Do U think TDKR can sink its claws into Joss Whedon's Avengers and wind up being most successful film of 2012??

The 'Batman is always overshadowed' crowd won't like this comment, lol.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

The villains bring the sizzle and the hype, and Batman is the foundation that holds it all together. It's thankless and under appreciated but important work.

 

[kvz5]

It was from Perez Hilton. Perez giving "professional opinion". What profession?

 

[AndrewGilkison]

You mean talking **** about celebrities isn't a profession?

July 2012 Preview

The Dark Knight Rises

June 29, 2012

July 2012 is finally here, and with it comes what is easily one of the most-anticipated movies ever. On July 20, audiences will pack their way in to theaters to see The Dark Knight Rises, which is the final installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Initial grosses from that movie, combined with revenue from The Amazing Spider-Man and Ice Age: Continental Drift, should make for one of the biggest months ever, though with only seven new releases it may be tough to beat July 2011's record-setting $1.4 billion.

Four years ago, The Dark Knight set an opening weekend record with $158.4 million, and eventually closed in second place on the all-time chart with $533.3 million (since then, its opening weekend record has been surpassed twice, and its total now ranks fourth all-time). It has also enjoyed a very healthy second life on DVD/Blu-ray/TV, and it's hard to find someone who hasn't seen the movie. In fact, The Dark Knight has the second-most votes ever on IMDb (718,000), and its 8.9 rating places it at number eight on the site's Top 250 list. What's important to notice among these data points is that, to put it simply, a lot of people have seen The Dark Knight, and a lot of people have liked it. Add in its cliffhanger of an ending, and there were feverish levels of anticipation for a sequel the minute the credits began.

Still, there has been some concern about the box office potential of The Dark Knight Rises, most of which revolves around Bane and Catwoman being unworthy successors to Heath Ledger's Joker. Those doubts have been largely assuaged by Warner Bros. astute marketing campaign: the studio has gone above and beyond to show that Bane is Batman's toughest physical adversary yet, and one of the teaser posters even suggests Batman is defeated at some point. Add in the tagline "The Legend Ends" and the ensuing speculation that Bruce Wayne may not survive the movie, and this is shaping up to be a nearly-unprecedented movie-going event.

A big boon to Dark Knight Rises grosses will be additional IMAX revenue. The Dark Knight only opened at 94 IMAX locations, and since then the large format screens have tripled in number in North America. With roughly an hour of IMAX footage (compared to The Dark Knight's 40 minutes or so), The Dark Knight Rises will likely sell out IMAX theaters for the better part of its nearly-two-month exclusive window.

Even with this IMAX boost, it may be tough to top The Avengers's record debut ($207.4 million) or its overall haul (on track for at least $620 million). But initial tracking suggests that the movie will debut higher than its predecessor ($158.4 million), and if it turns out to be a worthy follow-up, look out.

"In our professional opinion" that was best part.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I'm thinking...

Opening Weekend: $190 million
Domestic Total: $550 million

 

[04nbod]

I'm kinda surprised about the gender demographic for The Avengers.

Really? Nolan has never had a strong woman in his Bat films

 

[Liam_H]

You don't necessarily need a strong woman in your movie to pull in the female crowd.

 

[Baneis8feettall]

I don't go movies to see strong man or hot woman. Why would females do such a thing?

A movie like "The Kickboxer" might be more suitable more males and "Mamma Mia" might be more suitable females. But blockbuster movies or simply great movies, they can get both genders.

 

[Fullmetal]

I'm thinking...

Opening Weekend: $190 million
Domestic Total: $550 million

I was just thinking that could be the grand total for TDKR's Opening Weekend for a bit but I guess my theory for the opening weekend would be $750 million was pushing it too far. LOL haha But I still think it will top the Avengers. But I also believe in the the next 2 in half months TDKR will surpass Titanic and Avatar. t: Both males and females will take high interest in this, especially around the world in other countries.

But if I had to make my best guess;

Opening Weekend: $570 million
Grand Total: $3.4 billion

^w^ Batman will rise to the top. Mark my words.

Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but you're crazier than The Joker. That opening weekend number is especially unreachable.

 

[Iceman]

But if I had to make my best guess;

Opening Weekend: $570 million
Grand Total: $3.4 billion

That's just domestic right? t:

Amazing Spider-man sets new Asian record toppling Avengers. Spidey still has name value.

 

[Travesty]

That was instantly the first Gif that popped in my head when I read his prediction.

Heh, I've never even seen that gif before, and I know I'll put it to good use with future posts.

But yeah, it was a perfect gif for that situation.

 

[kvz5]

Of course it does. It's arguably the biggest and most popular superhero internationally.

 

[Sharkboy]

Didn't you know? Asia is Spidey territory.
