Looks like someone needs to do the Dew.

I'm sorry for Edward Norton. His talent is getting wasted almost a decade in bad movies.

Moonrise Kingdom was pretty great. Also good: The Illusionist, The Painted Veil, and he was a fine Bruce Banner. I don't think he feels bad about that.

I'd love to see Edward Norton in a Christopher Nolan joint.

Ed Norton was great in Kingdom of Heaven but I think that's the last great thing he did (talking about the Directors Cut, of course.)

 

[Gee]

I will always remember Norton for American History X. Easily one of my faves.

WB headquarters....

WB: Where's Nolan!?
*turns corner to see Bane standing in the next room*
Nolan: Speak of the genius... and he shall appear.
WB: Your operation at the boxoffice, it didn't work!
Nolan: Our plan is proceeding as scheduled.
WB: Then why aren't we made the movie 3D to milk audience?
*Nolan motions to Emma Thomas*
Nolan: Leave us.
WB: No! Stay here, I'm in charge.
Bane: *places hand on WB executive's shoulder* Do you feel in charge now?
WB: We've paid you a small fortune as budget.
Nolan: And this gives you..power over me?
WB: What are you?
Nolan: I'm 3D's reckoning, here to end the cash cow you've all been living on.
WB: You're pure director.
Nolan: I am necessary director.

Probably it happened this way.

This was beautiful, thank you for this.

TDKR made an estimated $19.5M this weekend. Domestic total of $390.1M. Overseas numbers plus the updated worldwide total coming later.

 

[Kane52630]

It's slowly creeping up to the top 10 domestically.

I want overseas numbers NOW

deshi! deshi! basara! basara!

Rise!

 

[Bruce Malone]

Hmm better case scenario it will be knocking out shrek 2 for 7th. Two bat film in the top 10 domestic says a lot about the impact of the character.

 

[BlackFox]

Any news on weekend numbers yet?

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Yeah just above you...

Domestic weekend take of (estimate) $19.5M.

 

[BlackFox]

^ Woops sorry didnt realise it was the updated one, didnt think this thread had moved for a couple days.

Seems to be moving up nicely, guess a top 10 finish is likely?

 

[redfirebird2008]

$445m overseas, $390m domestic, and $835m worldwide. Very good.

Hmm I'm betting closer around $828m. About $19m domestically and $32m from overseas.

I called it.


Sunday Update (#2): Warner Bros. estimates that The Dark Knight Rises will gross $34.2 million internationally this weekend, bringing its overseas total to $445.3 million. Rises is now pacing 28% ahead of The Dark Knight using 2008 exchange rates at the same point in time and 46% ahead at current exchange rates.

Wow. Judging from overseas numbers and reception to the film, and following the logic of how great it would've done here if not for the shooting, there's a pretty good chance we'd already be looking at a billion, or close to.

No, the shooting didn't have that big of an impact.

It's on pace for a billion regardless. And it still has a China and Italy release.

That would be a great achievement and fitting end to the trilogy.

 

[Anno_Domini]

$835 million? YES!
