I think there is a good chance for $52m (or $51.4m to be exact) Saturday but it is far from guaranteed.

Warner Bros. Says There Is "No Truth" To The New Audio Mix For THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

If you were hoping that the rumor that surfaced yesterday was true, then bad news... It seems that Warner Bros. is saying that nothing has changed as far as Bane's voice goes. Check it out...
WolvieCBM - 1/3/2012

Well, that was fast. Yesterday, it was reported that Warner Brothers have changed (cleaned up) the audio for The Dark Knight Rises IMAX prologue, so people could understand Bane in the film, since there were many complaints about that. And now it seems that is not true after all.


From The New York Times writer Dave Itzkoff (via The Playlist):

"Warner Bros. says "no truth" to reports of new Dark Knight Rises prologue trailers going out with fixed Bane audio."

National Unrest Intensifies As BaneGate Rages On


The war over Bane's dialogue gets more intense amid reports that the IMAX prologue has been remixed.


Is Bane understandable or not? America must know! And if Bane isn't understandable, we must know who at Warner Bros knew it, and when they found out. We need Congressional inquiries!

The first order of business: is Warner Bros lying about fixing the Bane audio in the IMAX The Dark Knight Rises prologue? Reports are surfacing that now Bane is actually comprehensible. The Woodwards and Bernsteins at Collider have a source that tells them a new soundtrack has been sent out to IMAX projectionists, with the background plane noise reduced. So while Bane's voice hasn't been touched, the mix has been changed to bring him to the fore, which the projectionist says makes him 40% more understandable. That's a scientific measurement.

But Warner Bros flat out denies it, despite Collider having a printed piece of paper that says "Dear IMAX Projectionist" and details how to use the new disc with the new mix.

If Christopher Nolan does change the mix, where does that leave the Batjihadists who were adamant - militantly adamant! - that Bane was perfectly understandable all along? Is their leader admitting fault? This could lead to a wave of suicide bombings by grown men tearfully clutching Hot Toys Joker figures (probably the Joker as Cop one, it's so real looking!).

I think the fire is rising. FUCK! What if this was Bane's plan all along...

This movie is gonna be awesome!

I think it's about time people realized this is the greatest film ever released. If IMDB would update, it'd already be #1 with a 9.9 rating.

Has a movie ever won Best Picture before it was released? $600M lock.

IMAX midnight shows are now available in LA and SF. Lincoln Center in NYC is already sold out.

I'm getting Aribus IMAX tickets as soon as the showing pops up, which for all I know might not be until June.

I do not understand the IMDB post.


Back in 2008, fans of TDK gave low ranks to the Godfather films and even the Good the bad and the Ugly causing them to fall, the TDK came on top.

Then the "old school" guys, TDK haters, Godfather fans attacked TDK rating.

In the end, Shawshank Redemption came on top and the Godfather stayed at number 2 and it has been the same ever since.
