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

[Heretic]

How fucking ant-climatic.

[B J]

I don't see any fudge

[mattmav45]

The fudging hype was greater than the fudge itself in this case.

 

IMO.

[starkster]

lol lionsgate

[Jack Nevada]

All this fudge talk reminds me how much I loathe fudge itself. Always tastes chalky. Never satisfies... Do people still eat the stuff?

Fudge is creamy, rich and delicious. You've been duped.

Batman to Katniss:  THE NORTH AMERICAN BOX OFFICE SHOWED YOU IT STILL BELIEVES IN BATMAN OVER SOME YA ADAPTATION.*

 

*Really has no dog in this fight, just enjoy busting balls.

[Chewy]

ED's joy @ that number probably can't be measured

[Moviefanatic]

Well that was anti-climatic.

[ecstasy]

How fucking ant-climatic.

 

 

Just like that Broncos/Pats game last night.

[narniadis]

Not bad - not great but what a crap load of money......

You need better fudge, clearly

Give the man a break. He got fucked hard by Manning.

[Batman]

 I think the real number somewhere around 155-157M!

[Talon]

lol what taken them so long to post it ?!

[JohnnyGossamer]

Chalky?! What sort of fake fudge do you eat??

It's been so long, I couldn't tell you. I vowed long ago to never eat it again. It's possible it was 3rd rate fudge. But, I'm done with the stuff.

They probably got worried WB would call them out if they fudged it past TDK, like the pissing match we saw between Sony and Disney over the worldwide openings of SM3/AWE.

If they were fudging, do you not think they would have gone over TDK?

[theultimatebiu]

How much did TDKR make OW??

[baumer]

They tried but in the end, they knew that they could not pull a fast one over WB.  WB had their watchdogs hounding them with numbers all day.  Finally, LG had to acquiesce and admit that PR or not PR, they did not pass the Dark Knight.

I just provided my speculation above. I think they were attempting to fudge and caved at the last second, probably because they didn't want to get called out by another studio for it.
