Bad WOM didnt stop that travesty from having epic holds on Saturday and Sunday. Avengers did a good job of matching Spider-Man3s tickt sales but in a little over two months time TDKR is going to show everyone what having the true record looks like. _________________The Force Awakens

Re: The Dark Knight Rises OW Record Club of FUCK 3D It's essentially gonna have the same market as Avengers had. Bare. It's gonna suck all the money's from everyone.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises OW Record Club of FUCK 3D Well it's going to have to clobber TA in ticket sales - not saying it can't be done, but the sheer margin it needs is an epic obstacle.

It's, like, the thing they do . Exactly. 4 out of 6 Batman movies have broken opening weekend records. TDKR is the sequel to an enormous success that is one of the two most beloved movies in the last 10 years, next to Avatar. Anyone who doubts TDKR will have a meteorite fall on their head on July 22nd.  Oh and just another reminder.... http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weeken ... ecords.htmIn summer 1989, Indy3 broke the OW by 11%, which was very shortly beaten by Ghostbusters 2, which was very shortly obliterated by Mr. Batman by 37%.

No different than how it would have had to clobber TDK to get over 200m, the only major difference is TA got to 200m first, and the film did it without having to se that attendance record. _________________The Force Awakens

Re: The Dark Knight Rises OW Record Club of FUCK 3D Batman has no limits. $220M. Multiple viewings will make this possible.

Fair enough - I was earlier thinking mojo's ticket sale estimates were accurate, which it seems they are not. And Returns did beat Batman going from Joker to Catwoman, and Nolan Bane > Burton Penguin, so maybe I'm more sold.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises OW Record Club of FUCK 3D TDKR is not going to struggle with 220m+. It's going to have 40m midnights not 19m, that'll be enough for the record breaking OD and OW, I still have no doubt TDKR will be even more of a four quadrant hyped massive hit.
TDKR prediction:
Midnight: 36m, Friday: 61m, Opening Day: 97m, Opening Weekend: 224m. Total like over 600m, or something. Past titanic original run but less than lifetime gross I guess.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises OW Record Club of FUCK 3D TDK was so fucking four quadrant that 52% of its audiences was male, and 50% was over/under 25, The Avengers can never compare because its not a true four quadrant film like TDKR will be. http://boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2504&p=.htm_________________The Force Awakens

Based on that, TDKR is headed for 215-220M

Re: The Dark Knight Rises OW Record Club of FUCK 3D LOL! have any of you been to the IMDB boards yet ? It is fucking chaos. Anyways, it was a REALLY smart descision attaching the final TDKR trailer to TA. Awareness will already be sky high and WB hasn't even started with the tv spots yet. The trailer already has close to 80 million views and it was only released 7 days ago. Yeah TDKR has nothing to worry about because the buzz is building.

friday: 70 million
saturday: 80 million
sunday: 70 million
ow: 270 million w/o 3d
mult. 3.25
total gross: 872.5

Re: The Dark Knight Rises OW Record Club of FUCK 3D One thing that I was discussing on the BO.com forums that's worth bringing up here is how social media will affect TDKR's opening weekend. I believe we've seen something like with Avengers, where twitter and facebook have spread WOM so quickly, that it helped Saturday's gross immensely. I mean, it went up 13% from Friday day business, which is way better than Spider-Man 3, Iron Man 2, Thor, and could have done better than Iron Man 1 is that didn't have Thursday previews. Of course, this all depends on Nolan delivering, but what an absurd thing to oppose!
