Do you think TDK will pass $300m?
Do you think it's possible to be the highest grossing film of the year? Don't ignore the questions!

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch What is the biggest jump for a sequel? Austin Powers 2 comes to mind not sure if that is it though.

It just seems insane to think that a sequel will gross 300m+ so easily when its predcessor only made 205m. And it is insane I think but....this hype is just so big. Reviews so far are the best I've seen for a live-action film since LOTR. It's not really about the rating they are giving it but they way they are describing it. A reviewer may have given Iron Man an 'A' and TDK an 'A', but the difference is that most reviewers were praising Iron Man as a fun, blockbuster while reviewers have been praising TDK as a masterpiece. Two very different things.
Honestly, unless you either hated Batman Begins, I don't see why you would NOT want to see this. Even people who thought BB was 'meh' are going to end up seeing this. They may not be going crazy over it like us fanboys, but they are still going to end up paying to see it in theaters. fine, TDK's gross will entirely be attributed to Heath Ledger's death, That doesn't change the fact that it'll pwn the shit outta Hulk  _________________ Retroviral VideosA film-based project created for the purpose of helping raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, specifically in South Africa.

Look at the top. That was "as of 7/28/02," so DMC was to come 4 years later. BOM is way behind on this little piece of data.

I told my friend about a week ago about the tickets and he kept telling me to wait because he wanted to see if his girlfriend and other people could come. Seriously, who waits for their girlfriend for midnight tickets to TDK.

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch Regel Union Square (not iMax) has sold out all 4 midnight shows and added 2 shows at 1230. I guess they have only 4 prints and they will be running additional shows on interlock. Maybe they will add 2 more at 1230.
I am sure majority of theaters(4000+) will be doing midnight shows. It hopefully has a chance at beating Sith. That would something, midnights beating BB's OD(that should make a good thread).

Around 80% or more of it's theatres will have to show midnights for that to happen, meaning around 3300-3500 or so. Which would be hundreds more theatres than Sith had (Just over 3000 (about 83%) of Sith's 3600 count had midnights). If Pirates 2/3, Spider-Man 3, and Harry Potter 5 can barely get over the 2000 mark (about 50%) I doubt The Dark Knight can. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.
