I'm sorry he's being such an asshole. Just know that everyone else on KJ and BO.com (and the rest of the internet, really!) is really grateful for you putting it up!

I did it because I knew the folks at SHH were going to want it. This is the only time I wish I was a NASCAR fan so I could have seen and recorded TV Spot 3 earlier today. No one has uploaded it yet and apparently it had some good footage of Fox introducing The Bat to Bruce.

As awesome as that third tv spot looks I'm pretty much done with tv spots and IMDB all together. Way too many spoilers going around and I feel like I've seen too much already.

Yeah I hope the ending of TDKR is as epic as TDK..

The whole dark knight/white knight stuff at the end is just gold.

Easily the best ending for a film in a long time.

Wtf, she looks so threatening

Catwoman is growing on me.

more money than gaaaawd

Sweet! we want pics

OMG, so fucking awesome!!!!!!!!

Here is a better version of TV Spot #3:

I've been in disbelief the past few weeks that The Avengers managed that OW, and is managing these numbers. This is almost as bad as Avatard's record run. On that note, f*ck 3D!

Moving on, marketing is just bad ass now . I love all the new banners and posters and those awesome TV spots. That lame orange poster doesn't count. They're going all out to push the marketing; NBA playoffs, NASCAR, TV spots popping up during different popular TV shows. Plus you have the trailer that was shown in front of The Avengers, and the huge, huge number of Youtube views the Rises trailers have had.



Mmhhmm, definitely possible. I'm feeling a 40M midnight as well. Even on the low end, I'm thinking a 35M midnight. From there, on the low end I can see 62/60/52 for the Fri/Sat/Sun. So on the low end, I'm expecting a 209M OW. On the high end, I can see the exact totals you got going.



THIS. Despite the amazing numbers TDK got on opening Friday including midnights, that was far from being super frontloaded. Exclude midnights, and just look at how amazingly TDK held during Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It stayed almost flat Friday-to-Saturday, and had only a small drop Sunday. That is simply astonishing, The Avengers be damned.

Rises is the follow up to one of the most loved films in box office history, and most definitely one of the top films of the last 10-15 years in terms of how it was loved by audiences of all ages and genders.

It's not a question of if the movie will be amazing. We know it will be amazing. Most likely, more amazing than we think. With that said, a huge midnight, followed by out-of-this-world word of mouth will lead to insanity during OW for Rises.



Read what I said in the above reply. TA performed "much better", hah, not really. TDK played on about 9200 screens. The Avengers opened on well over 11,000 screens AND had the stupid 3D boost as well. Midnights excluded, The Avengers increased Friday-to-Saturday, but had an average drop on Sunday. In terms of ticket sales, The Avengers' Friday was actually weaker than TDK's Friday. The Dark Knight on the other hand stayed almost flat the ENTIRE weekend, playing on only 9200 screens.



IMAX OW record is going down. I'm predicting around 18M OW for IMAX screens.

NASCAR TV spot in high quality (credit to redfirebird)


Soooooo good.

Yes! thank you redfirebird

Best TV spot so far. Glad they showed it during something I actually watch so I could record it, haha.

TV spots are all good. The record is so clearly going down it isnt even funny.

Subways will be chanting DESHI! (deshi) BASARA! (basara)!

"Midnights excluded, The Avengers increased Friday-to-Saturday, but had an average drop on Sunday. In terms of ticket sales, The Avengers' Friday was actually weaker than TDK's Friday. "

I agree TDK playing on fewer screens is something to be noted...

However even with 3D boost, it had the biggest Sat (Spider Man is around tied) and Sundays ever.

TA had far less craze then many past openers and in the end was not that far behind TDK on Friday. Imo it performed much better on Friday its weakest day then almost all our expectations...


When you see how TDKR will open compared to TA, you will understand and see how falling 30-40% on Saturday and 8-10% on Sunday is not a better hold then falling 14% on Saturday and 18% on Sunday.



Also, are you being serious??
a 18% Sunday drop is normal in May!
To get a 18% drop in Sunday in May is just unreal. It pretty much is like getting a 8-10% in the Summer.

If you said a month ago that TA will get a 57 million Sunday you think I would talking about Saturday.

Lol I am just stating what happened.

a 80.5
69.5
and
57 million

weekend performance is nothing to simply dismiss..

Completely agree.

Massive tracking from two tracking sites more than a month and a half out, 207.5m will be crushed with ease.

36M Midnights
66M Friday
59M Saturday (-10.6%)
53M Sunday (-10.2%)

215M OW
573M DOM

I'm thinking something roughly along those lines right now, nothing exact yet. Only record it would have to take would be Friday. Can see the midnight going higher, and Friday being lower (66M feels high). 573 DOM for a 3.0 multiplier from non-midnight OW.

Doubting the holdability of TDKR

omg omg omg, so fucking awesome!!!!!!

Not at all. In fact, I think it can match TDK's 3.67, especially considering the excellent early reports. However, it's still two months out; I can live with staying conservative.
