The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR Box Office Thread III

[Jordanstine]

Removing the tv ads definitely dampens the OW gross by at least $5 mil if not a little bit more. If it grosses $75 mil Friday or just under $80, it's still quite a feat. I think $175-$180 mil OW is where we're going at. $160 mil is a bit low and if it ends up with that amount, I'll be surprised.

According to Deadline...

$77.2 million Friday.

Estimated weekend cume $170 million.

If that's the case, it would be slightly around TDK's estimated $172 million after inflation.

Midnight screenings of $30 million was really front loaded.

All you haters, name one movie which was released this year which was better than the dark knight rises? Can you?

You need to calm down. Not everyone is going to have the same opinion as you.

This was a good film, but it was flawed. The pacing in the film was way off and the plot was predictable with the typical, mad man wants to blow up a nuclear weapon.

With all its flaws it's it's still a good movie. As to which movie is better will be subjective. Some will say Avengers some this, some Hunger Games. You could make an argument for any of them. In the series I feel this is the weakest entry, but nowhere near the mess Spider-man3 was.

Besides the tragic events in Colorado, I can't see why TDKR should have bad WOM. In my theater there was cheering several times during the movie and standing ovations afterworth. If I should think of something that could cause audience to be disappointed, it would be because TDKR isn't The Dark Knight part 2, but rather Batman Begins part 2 and they were dissappointed by that.

Once again, couldn't agree with you more (well, except about TDKR; I think it's the best of the trilogy haha but that's besides the point).
I wanted to say something cause this guy was clearly only looking to start an infantile fanboy flame war but I didn't want to rock the boat or feed his trolling at all, but I'm glad people like you are around to handle those types of posters with tact.
So far the boards have been relatively peaceful in terms of the stupid Marvel/DC fanboy crap and I just hope it sticks that way.

Box office followers were really hoping for more...but I suppose we'll never know what would have happened without the shooting.

WB will still make money, Nolan will continue making movies, and we got the trilogy we wanted. But it's still a downer.

In mine there was cheering and applause as well.

The only movie(s) I can see challenging the OW record right now is 'The Hobbit' and 'Avengers 2'. TDKR was an uphill battle. The BO predictions and tracking was fun while it lasted. After carefully seeing eye to eye with Tony Stark's BO evaluation of TDKR, it just doesn't have enough time and screens to pull in $200 mil for an OW. The lack of 3D and not nearly enough IMAX screens could give it a chance. Remember, TA had a 30 percent advantage per ticket vs TDKR. That is huge.

That's an exaggeration. 170m for the weekend would be great especially with all this commotion going on.

I don't see how ppl can look at 170m in a negative light. Unless there are HP like drop offs I see 500m as well.

How is it still a downer? Because it won't break the OW record? Very few directors have done what Nolan has by delivering three quality films into what will be known now as a successful trilogy. Granted, TDKR has its faults but if you view the whole thing as a journey, it ranks up there pretty damn high with just about any trilogy.

 

[Juicy J]

But really though, 170 million is nothing to be disappointed about. Everyone hoping that it would best the Avengers OW will be disappointed but why is that important to begin with?
Highest opening weekend for a 2D film is nothing to be upset over. Batfans have a lot to be happy about.

 

[Bruce Malone]

For you BO experts so midnight tally's are rolled into friday correct? So it's looking like TDKR will have the 3rd largest friday ever with 77m?

 

[Liam_H]

Yes midnights are rolled into Fridays.

 

[Spider-Fan]

All you haters, name one movie which was released this year which was better than the dark knight rises? Can you?

Guess what, people have differing opinion on movies. If you don't like people disagreeing with you, post somewhere else.

 

[bapi]

To be honest... I'm not sure if will beat TDK's OW. 47 without midnights... not good at all.

 

[db85usa]

To be honest... I'm not sure if will beat TDK's OW. 47 without midnights... not good at all.

It looks like it will gross exactly the same amount or just a pinch less than what TDK would have if adjusted for inflation ($174 Million,) give or take.

 

[dante2012]

Guys are nuts man! LOL! Wow it did'nt break the Avengers record. But who cares guys! Cause it''s still gonna break the 2D record at 170 mil which is still freakin amazing!

Bragging rights is what it comes down to. In the end, it really doesn't matter how much a movie makes as long as it's good. Avatar and Titanic are the cream of the crop in terms of money but I don't care about those movies and guess what? I haven't seen either of them and have no desire to.

 

[DorneyDave]

General reaction among movie-goers is that the movie is awesome. It's going to make a lot of money.

That's pretty much the two criteria you need to meet to be defined as a success, even if records don't fall.

 

[dante2012]

True! The main thing is u like it and the audience enjoys the film! It seems Nolan has created a fantastic trilogy!

 

[Boom]

All you haters, name one movie which was released this year which was better than the dark knight rises? Can you?

In my opinion?

Cabin in the Woods
The Avengers
Moonrise Kingdom
Beasts of the Southern Wild

Very much so. Makes me sad because this weekend was shaping up to be close to a national holiday, for all intents and purposes. A joyous occasion that has really been taken down and overshadowed by this tragedy.

I still can't believe it.

 

[Art Damage]

In my opinion?

Cabin in the Woods
The Avengers
Moonrise Kingdom
Beasts of the Southern Wild

Disagree with all of this...and I really liked Moonrise.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Here's the thing if the movie ends up with 190m+ we could legitimately say that it did indeed have a chance to break the OW record but fell short perhaps due to events.

If it's 170m+ then it never really had a chance anyways. I'm actually amazed that a movie as dark and heavy as TDKR has the ability to make as much money as it does. The same goes for TDK.

The Avengers was almost lab made to be an attract all audience bring the whole family film. The Nolan bat films are very different and it's a testament to how good they are that people still flock to them.

 

[Liam_H]

TDK is very different because of Ledger. Everytime the Joker came on screen people were excited to see what he was gonna do next, he was making you laugh and scared at the same time.

Right now I do not see this movie having the same legs as TDK or even a 3.0 weekend multiplier.

 

[Bruce Malone]

You know despite the lack of a joker type in TDKR it is still going over extremely well with the public. Aside from a few in the fan boy community the GA seems to be digging it almost to the extent they did with TDK.

Everyone knew the Joker was not in this film yet the hype was still huge.
