The Dark Knight Rises OS Discussion Thread/700M+ OS CLUB

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It will be on par with TA in Asia markets.

[youknowwho]

expect a $4-5mn opening week from India , advance bookings at my nearest IMAX location are crazy.they have opened bookings on Wed 8AM and all the 13 showtimes(screen capacity - 635) for the weekend were sold out in 2 hrs :shades:one more astonishing thing is that all the 12 showtimes for the next weekend (july 27 - july 29) are atleast 80% full

‘Dark Knight Rises’ Starts Foreign Release “Dominating” 9 Countries With $10.4M

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Australia: AUD$3.66M (US$3.74M) from 628 screens. That’s 60% ahead of The Dark Knight‘s opening day. “This is particularly spectacular considering that today is not a holiday versus TDK’s holiday opening day,” an exec tells me. As good as Chris Nolan’s Batpic finale’s opening day is, it was well below Marvel’s The Avengers, which smashed the Australian box office on its opening day of release with a record breaking AUD$6M (USD$6.2M). Of course Avengers was 3D and also opened on one of Australia’s biggest public holidays: ANZAC. Whereas The Dark Knight Rises opening didn’t include a holiday.

Korea: KRW 3.15b (US$2.7m) from 1059 screens, which is 131% higher thanThe Dark Knight‘s opening.

Taiwan: NT$ 26.3m (US$878k) from 228 screens, which is 175% ahead of The Dark Knight.

he studio will open another 40 markets over the second weekend and include all major markets with the exception of Italy (August) and China where The China Film Group, which sets release dates for U.S. films, wants to pit The Dark Knight Rises against Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man on August 30th. “That August date is not written in stone, and we are in talks with China Film to find a date that works for everybody,” a Warner Bros exec tells Deadline. “Warner Bros would never not release the film in China.”

Stupid WB ...

[Cedarpoint1111]

Nice

[Totem]

Really good numbers so far, it should have no problem finishing above 600m OS without China. 700m seems like a good target.

Stupid WB ...

it is at least releasing. Variety also confirmed its releasing in china with dates being negotiated.

The movie could be a huge success everywhere except Russia.Maybe it won't be far of The Avengers

South Korea admission

2nd day 493,024 (+10.0%) cume 934,866

around 5.9M USD 2 day cume.

15M OW is out of question.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

15M OW was never supposed to happen. More likely 13M.

[Fake]

TDKR probably won't be able to break TASM's OW record in India.... but it should have absolutely no problem scoring second best Hollywood opening of all-time.

How big is that and how does it compare to TDK's opening?

[keysersoze123]

While the Colorado tragedy will negatively impact its domestic prospects, I think it will actually increase awareness internationally. So you lose somewhere and gain elsewhere. We will know especially with next week's openings.

I think TDKR OW will be much higher than 3M OW finish which TDK had. Fake earlier said despite opening lower it could even beat ASM total bcos of less competition. But we will know after next weekend.

[JCS]

So this OS total won't be near Avengers it seems? Really?In the US, it will get close even without the 3D.

Stick a 3D premium on TDKR and suddenly domestic increases around 10% and something like 20%+ OS.

I don't remember it being a holiday weekend when TDK opened.

[Olive]

OS may increase 50%.

[Fake]

TDKR's opening day was around $1.3M in India, around 30% lower than TASM. It should do $4M for the weekend.This is lower than what the presales suggested. Smaller cities didn't do as well. So it will finish close to MI4's opening.
