Nov 22-24 #s CF: $158,074,286 actual | Dark Knight triumphant after all

[iceroll]

I like how the number has gotten progressively better over the weekend.  First we were panicking over a 130m DH1-like performance, then a bit more relieved that it would beat New Moon but still kind of disappointed about 140-150m, and now after all that most people are reasonably happy about 161m.

That means you missed my earlier one (just before the estimates came out).

What was it?

[Lordmandeep]

Sad thing about this weekend is that... 

 

We will likely have to wait to May 2015 for such a big similar opening or any opening/daily record to fall.  

 

Savour it friends.

I'm sorry to rain on everyone's parade here but it's funny to me how everyone is so happy with the 160 now that you were expecting to hear 150 after early Friday reports.  Many people here had it doing 175-180 and proclaiming that it was next to impossible for it to miss 170.  It's just one more example of how none of us, myself included, should ever say it's impossible for a film to miss any given number.

Stop posting pictures of fudge, delicious, delicious fudge. Its like torture for a fat guy.

 

[Jandrew]

yeah don't bet on it. Japan will not support this movie. France and Italy though should have nice bumps

 

They supported Battle Royale? Basically the same concept.

It's all relative.

Yes true, but I think July/2015 will be bigger

I think backloaded smaller weekend is much better than uber frontloaded bigger OW. This really bodes well for its legs with WOM being so positive.

This weekend reminds of TF3 opening days. Slow start but really picked up as it's 5 day opening went on.

You completely missed my point.

Actually Gotham isn't mourning yet!

Looking like the storms are mostly affecting the lower middle of the country (Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and upper middle, though most of that is in Canada, East and West coats are free to continue dominating the BO.
