Nick and Devin at CHUD chimed in -- both liked the film (though only moderately) after thinking Batman Begins was tepid.

I don't get why Devin comes off as such a joke in regards to specific topics. "I like the film but let me tell you everything that I find wrong about it, do get me wrong so and so scene is good, but the movie is overstuffed"

lol, some ridiculous shit in there. Once everyone is blowing the film, he'll gradually get more and more negative to the point of hating the film, he already wants to hate it but he knows he can't.

He went into it with his mind made up. He was bashing the fucking marketing months ago for crying out loud, never mind the actual movie. He has no credibility in my book. Fantastic Four better than Batman Begins?

Another glower

Excel, do you know the massive spoiler? I'm kinda disappointed that I know it, but it sounds like an incredible ending. Some fanboys are going to be highly pissed, but I think it's epic storytelling and revolutionary for a superhero movie.

I think so...tell me what you know int tags and ill tell you.

Knew that for the most part. for those who dont-



There you go. brilliant shit.

I disagree with what you said at the hype that Nolan is possibly done. From the sounds of it, hes just getting started. I mean, " just SCREAMS Nolan has more up his sleeve, which knowing him, he does.

I hope you're right. I just don't see how he's going to top this ending, and granted I do think Ledger's death has thrown a huge wrench into the situation.

I doubt it. Given all the acclaim and moneythis film is gonna do he'd be nuts to leave. Whatever they had planned for Joker-which was rumored to be tiny-can be edited out. They werent gonna have the same main villain two straight films, no matter how good he was.

either way, can we please keep this about predictions and not about anything that could be a possible spoiler....

the greatness of this film has a lot to do with the wom itll get

It is confirmed that my theater is going to have extended late show times till 4am for Thursday night. We haven't had shows past midnight for a movie since Spider-Man 3 (that one we had 24 hours). So, take that as you will

My anticipation for this movie is through the roof. I haven't been this excited for a film in years. It just looks so great.
Not sure if these have been posted but here are 12 new clips from the film. Some of these look amazing.

Absurd gross wins TDK countless of people choice and mtv awards, makes Bale a international super star, gets Ledgers joker an Oscar Nom and Golden Globe WIN as well as bonafide LEGEND statis. Casting for the roles of Riddler and Catwoman for Batman 3 become hottest rumors in Hollywood since the search for Anakin in 2000. Spiderman has been dethroned, Batman once again, after a 13 year break, rules the U.S. as the #1 superhero film franchise.

Couldnt keep that in until next Sunday

Quit IGNORING TDK's hype. EMBRACE it

Could we see a $60m OD?

It seems this is the only film anytime soon that can break Spidey's OD record.

I would too; it would be AWESOME.


I obviously don't want to hype and overhyped film, but it's not an impossible number. I think we know, at least, that a film CAN make that much in a day.


Em, I personally think $51m for the opening day, which would be crazy-good.

Anytime you make more in one day than the previous movie's opening weekend, you are doing pretty damn awesome.

I honestly would not be shocked if it does break Spidey's OD record though. The fanboy hype is just enormous, and the reviews are literally some of the best you'll ever see for such a film. It's blowing people away. With the IMAX boost, I would not be surprised if it can pull off a $60 million OD. After that though, it will be way more frontloaded on OW than Spidey 3. In the long run, it will be LESS frontloaded. But for opening weekend, it will be very frontloaded because it does not have the kid audience on Saturday that Spidey does. This is the type of scenario I think could play out if $60 million OD becomes reality:

Fri - $60m
Sat - $42m (-30%)
Sun - $31m (-25%)

You can't get $60m based on fanboys. You need all demographics across the board. I mean, there might not seem to be such a difference between $51m and $60m, but each extra million makes a world of difference.


I'd say any amount it makes more than $30m will be from casual filmgoers drawn in by the marketing, BB, and the hype. So can the film double the number of hardcore fanboys on day one?
