$160.8M OW is not to be sniffed at, it is the 3rd biggest OW of all time and was only in 2D meaning it was never going to top Avengers anyway.Still, the shooting cost it around $25M I think, which would have been an even better start and put it in front of DH2's OW and much further in front of TDK.
Shame that TDKR's OW will be lower than the Avengers OW...But I suppose TA had an extra preview day and 3D but I thought TDKR's hype and the beloved frachise would give it a bigger OW than TA. I guess not.
I know BOM don't have numbers either but they should have done a midnight report at least for TDKR because there are official numbers for that.Going to be weird searching for BO articles in 4-5 years on TDKR and there will be like no reports...
Perhaps, but a $3M OW increase for TDKR is awful when TDK was huge and everyone liked it and the hype for this was huge.The shooting has decimated the OW thanks to the sensationalist USA media but hopefully the OS markets will make up for it.
The BO total will just be more spread out as the people (mainly families) who missed out this weekend will just catch it down the line, so the legs will be better to make up for lower OW and the total will still be around $500M+
Yeah, we know the big events (opening, 100m..etc) will decrease the BO but films should be okay as Olympics are so spread out. The massive influx of tourists may boost BO takings as well.
