300 million worldwide would be great for this! The production budget was $12 million.

X-Men: DOFP - Cinemark in Plano, Tx XD/3D showing Trailers: Edge of Tomorrow - This was a great trailer in 3d. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - Another good trailer. Movie - This was great in 3d on the huge XD screen. The story and the characters were very good. Quicksilver was awesome! It may have passed X2 as my favorite X-Men movie. This was a great trip to the movies!

My family and I are watching the Olympics opening ceremony right now. Great job, UK!! Such a wonderful production.We loved the part with Peter Pan and Mary Poppins. We are going to watch Finding Neverland on dvd after the opening ceremony.

Awesome! Does this have a chance of matching TDK's UK total of $89m?

That's an awesome story. I also clapped at the end of TDKR. I haven't clapped for a movie in years. Not even Inception or TDK. One minute I was about to cry and then at the end I was clapping before I even realized I was doing it.

And The Hunger Games is a superhero movie?

Blindly ignoring the effect of the shooting? Lol. TASM is a superhero movie too. TDKR and TASM were obviously gonna be hit the hardest of all the movies.

I love both movies. The Avengers is light and fun and cool. TDKR feels more real and emotional and powerful.What a great year 2012 is for the box office. I am not going to let a cowardly criminal ruin my love for going to the movies!

I feel the same way. TDKR>TDK, but Ledger's Joker > Hardy's Bane. I like Bale's Wayne/Batman in TDKR over TDK. I also like Hathaway/Gordon-Levitt over Eckhart/Gyllenhaal. I could be happy if TDKR makes $475m domestically. At least it would be ahead of the Star Wars movies diomestically. I think it would be reasonable to say that TDKR would have ended up in the 550m-575m range if not for the shooting, but it's ok if TDK stays at #4 on the domestic list.I think worldwide, which is the bottom line number, TDKR can still get to the #5 spot. That's most likely where it was going to finish anyway. It will just be like 1.15B instead of 1.225B.

Yep. With $800m WW, they'll pocket $100m+. Doesn't matter if some people think it is underperforming domestically. Worldwide is the bottom line number.

I don't remember seeing anyone saying 20% to 25%, but with the glaring drops of Ted and MK, a 10% to 15% overall effect is reasonable to assume. Brave looks like the only movie that escaped a big effect of the shooting.

K-K-K-Ken is c-c-c-coming to k-k-k-kill me!

Great Thursday for TA!! Man, 45m-47m would be a great 4-day!

IM2 had a +9% Th and a +141% Fri. Thor had -12% Th and a +161% Fri.What's TA going to do today and tomorrow?

So Battleship's shooting blanks?

Congrats on 400m, Avengers!!

Hey BKB, Nolan's the best director ever isn't he? TDKR is gonna be the best movie ever, don't you think BKB?

Nice number for TA. Would love to see a 60m weekend.

We saw the Brave trailer on Saturday night before TA. The trailer was very good. We are excited about this!

Hulk go "rag doll" on puny TDK numbers!!

Hulk Mad! Want puny humans to give Thursday number now!

No, but it did have two kings.

Couple of months? TA may catch TDK by the end of this month.

Wrong again. I've seen a lot of posts talking about it beating DH2 and finishing in the 380s.

Another good weekend number in store for THG! I think it was just a couple of weeks ago that one of the two Debbie Downers said that THG would not go higher than 360m.
