They almost certainly took that number from Nikki. I'd take Nikki's later number and Rth far more seriously.

Around $17-17.5m

Nikki originally had $20m, but then went down to $17m.

Yeah - it's too early for precise numbers. They're both saying around $17m.

Her number is a ballpark figure. Expect something within a few 100k of it.

Nikki.

The best comic book movie of all time is Kick-Ass.The second best Western ever made is Peckinpah's Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid (Once Upon a Time in the West is the best).

Once is one of the greatest films of all time.

Toy Story 2 is the worst of the trilogy.

To be honest I didn't watch it. Opening ceremonies are such a waste of time and money.

Interesting. So an overlong, boring mess impacted an overlong, boring mess.

Asgard.

When TA came out a lot of people (ie: Batman fans ) complained that the way Hulk took out Loki was basically a punchline. Ironic that Catwoman takes out Bane in the exact same way.

I agree. Characters do this in movies all the time (they go from point a to point b without explanation) - we don't need to see the route he took to get home. Especially when the movie's almost 3 hours long already.

People have been mentioning that there aren't any more plot holes in TDKR than TDK. This may well be true, but whether you notice the plot holes I think comes down to how engaged you are by the film.A film is like a spell that's been cast - if you're under it's thrall you'll go along with it, plot holes and all. Unfortunately if you're not under the spell then you start noticing things (and analyzing things like the villain's masterplan) that you otherwise wouldn't.Then you come onto a message board and mention these problems you had with the film, and people accuse you of being a nitpicker.

I did add a "IMO" to the sentence.Probably best not to get into this subject though. I vaguely recall it being discussed before... once or twice.

I doubt anyone is here to dump on Nolan. He's right up there as one of the best directors working today. And he made probably (IMO) the best comic book movie in TDK.

I totally agree with HULK. In fact it's like he read my mind, and then plastered my thoughts on the page in all caps.To me, it does feel the least Nolan-like movie. I always (until now) have got the sense that he's telling his stories because there's a theme/philosophy that stimulates him and he wants to talk about it... so he makes a movie about it. With this one there are some half-baked ideas but perhaps his heart wasn't in it (or maybe he thought he was giving the fans what they wanted - always a dangerous thought!), and so in the end he just ditches the ideas and goes for the bombastic third act.

I preferred the first half of the movie. It had a nice slow set up. Besides, I don't usually care for action - and Nolan IMO isn't among the best at that stuff anyway.

Of course The Big Lebowski is better than either one of them.

I think they're both superb movies - but so different that it's silly to compare them (except in technical terms - they both raised the bar, and invented/perfected techniques that then became commonplace).

Yeah, I see that, but the trouble is we never see Gotham suffer during those five months. There should have been palpable suffering... dead bodies on the streets, rats everywhere, the whole nine yards. It should have been horrible - but we don't see any of that.
