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

It could still get to $85m, which is pretty damn excellent.

That would be nearly 12% higher than TDK's gross in pounds.

Ok weekend. Shitty totals for France and Germany. I am guessing Olympics hurt this movie and others badly this weekend. Hopefully there are recoveries next week

I really can't wait for China in two weeks.Hoping for 100m finish, but I'll take anything near 80m at this point though.

According to Gitesh Pandya, Rises is "fading away" overseas

[bballman24]

The number is pretty much on par with expectation (Fake was on spot, amazing).It will be more than 500m before it opens in China so nothing to worry about.I expect less drops next weekend.

[jb007]

Unless TDKR develops some extraordinary late legs, the most it will gross is $550 M (excluding China). I would have to say at this point $700M is out, unless TDKR does an Avatar in China.It shouls still end up with a gross around $600M, which is excellent.

It will pass 1B WW and become only the second franchise to have 2 1B films joining Pirates of the Caribbean.Only franchise to have consecutive 1B films.Only trilogy to have 2 1B films.

so far, yes.

[Fullbuster]

Really far from The Avengers.

no 3D. It's fairer to compare to previous TDK, which did 468 OS. Edited August 13, 2012 by peludo

3D considered, this sells almost the same amount of tickets of TA.

looks like TA > TDKR > TASM OShas anyone of us predicted this?

I got TDKR>TASM which I'm sure a few of us had right but the majority didn't.TA was really mixed, from low predictions to high.

I got TASM > TDKR > TAtotally wrong

me too

[JCS]

so far, yes.

Until The Hobbit...

[Juby]

me too

And me too.

TDKR will be first 1 billion movie without 3D since TDK in 2008, and probably last in box office history. I see right now $445-455 mln DOM + over $600 mln OS!

[Hatebox]

This will be, by some distance, the most bleak film to make a billion so far.

3D considered, this sells almost the same amount of tickets of TA.

I don't think so. TA still has Japan to open in. It could conceivably end up around $200m more than TDKR overseas, depending on how TDKR does in China.

[John Marston]

according to Gitesh Pandya, TDKR is "fading fast" overseas. The fact that he said it (a pretty reliable predictor) makes me concerned
