It may have, 4M people is not much in the huge USA and families (4+ people) are the ones being affected and therefore the day business is less. TDKR could have lost at least $15-25M from the OW due to the Colorado shooting.We will just never really know...
Indeed, but I am very sure OS will make up for poor USA OW as it is not splashed all over the media outside the US and barely any other developed countries have such lax and similar gun laws.
But the UK, US and Australia markets have very similar tastes (especially UK-US) so the film should have lived up to its high tracking based on these OS market's performance.
I don't think the US shooting will affect the OS box-office for TDKR at all, and if it does, only marginally. Don't see staggered helping as there is nothing to help.
With a good 2nd weekend and legs this will do fine and $500m+ as people will just watch it later on and not on OW.It was not going to do $200M+ OW without 3D so if it beats DH2 OW that will be a success.
However these are very early, unofficial guesstimates... so it could rise $20-30M to a great OW weekend.OS OW will still be huge though which will make up for this.
Just seen TDKR, amazing!Vue Westfield packed as expected and they are showing it 30+ times on Saturday but I guess it is one of the most popular cinemas in the UK.
It will be interesting indeed. DH2 had rabid fans and was very frontloaded whilst TDKR will not open as big but have longer legs.I am predicting £16m OW for TDKR.
