I disagree - awareness should be skyhigh now...

Awareness doesn't equal a bought ticket. People will take away that a crazy person shot a bunch of people in a theater. TDKR just happened to be the movie they were watching.

It could actually boost its total IMO cause some might be interested what in the movie inspired the shooter.....not saying it WILL happen but there is a better chance of it happening than not.

I read on a local forum that the cast won't be coming to the premiere in Tokyo and "other" countries due to the events this weekend in Colorado. No source was given, and "other" may refer to Paris, so I don't know how reliable this comment is yet.

Yeah, I read that too.

Fuck Warner and their admission of guilt. Why not just post a statement on their official website "Warner Bros. is very sorry to report that our movie inspired a massacre"? Because they are doing everything in their power to pretty much imply that.

This could have happened during ANY OTHER FUCKING movie. Or at any other place.

^yeah but unfortunately it happened at midnight showing of TDKR in Aurora, CO. There are specific details that need to be considered. I think the movie industry has reacted well to the shooting.

Fuck people.

Neither the studio nor Rentrak are officially reporting worldwide grosses for the weekend out of respect for the victims, but sources with access to numbers say Christopher Nolan's final Batman pic earned at least $70 million-plus from nine of the 17 countries where it debuted over the weekend.

Official number are expected to be released on Monday.

The biggest market for Dark Knight Rises was the U.K., where the film grossed at least $16.1 million through Saturday, with another $6 million in box office likely on Sunday. Australia came up with a weekend tally of $15.2 million, while South Korea looks to generate $15 million.

Spain is estimated to come up with another $4 million, with Hong Kong contributing $3 million. Dark Knight Rises opens in Germany, France and Japan this coming week.

This is such an irony of a statement. The thing happened in US and I am sure WB has its resources out in those countries and they surely would be having a regional head.

That's a great number for Australia

Three times what TDK opened to in South Korea, 50% more in Hong Kong.

On par with TDK's opening in Spain, and looks to have roughly the same USD opening as TDK in the UK, but I imagine TDKR's opening will be higher in GBP since wasn't the exchange rate pretty much at its most favorable rate ever in 2008?

New Zealand:

NZ$1,969,420 TDKR
compared to
NZ$2,038,157 Avengers
NZ$1,824,876 TDK

South Korea (admissions):

1,992,257/2,434,095 TDKR
compared to
1,342,572/1,636,178 Avengers
790,587/1,181,762 TDK

Netherlands:

€1,406,119 (3 days) TDKR
compared to
€1,125,704 (4 days) AVENGERS

looks like 600+ is assured...

TA was really helped by crazy grosses in Latin America

Do you have a link for that £11m figure? I'm just wondering so I can report it correctly on another forum.

Does anybody have a comparison with The Amazing Spiderman

After detailed analysis, it has made more than TASM in some places and less in others (mostly the ones it hat yet to open). That is all at the moment, but I have Nikki Finke on the case, so more to come...

Good work Mark, thanks for the detailed updates with the converted currencies.

I would not rule out the shooting affecting international box office...I'm in Peru right now and the shooting is HUGE news, everyone is talking about it, it was the front page story in every newspaper and I've heard many say that they won't go to see Batman despite that sort of thing NEVER happening here (or parents who don't want their kids to go). People can get paranoid very easily.
