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

[Fake]

Excellent! Maybe 487-489m after this weekend, but would have liked if it managed 900m WW this weekend itself.

[JCS]

I think it will just fall short of $900M WW this weekend but will pass it next week on its way to $1B+ WW!

Very short. 409 DOM + 485 OS? = 894 WW on Sunday

[rashad30]

Yeah it'll pass the mark on Monday. That's a staggering amount of money for a 2D film. Incredible run.

[Noctis]

It will end up being the third biggest film worldwide in admissions since Avatar.

[bballman24]

Finally, Batman is the biggest SH OS as well

Yeah what I was thinking, just short. Still a solid WW total by Sunday though.

The weather in Europe is getting hotter and hotter..... not a good sign.Weekend drop would be closer to 45%, not the sub-40% drop I was hoping for.

[bballman24]

For me, SH means superhero, not superheroes. TA is a collective unit, batman is an individual.TA is the biggest SH movie, but batman is the biggest SH OS and Dom IMO.Not a single character from TA can match batman's numbers by a mile. TDKR's OS numbers are going to beat SM/SM3 OS adjusted. That's impressive enough for me to say he is the biggest SH.Not saying TA is not great, because the quality was great and its BO is simply amazing. Just that if there is a single SH character that is most famous and appealing is batman for me then SM.

SM3 made 554.3M OS in 2007 so it's not a guarantee that TDKR beats it adjusted.

Fuck hot weather for messing with the box office!

612m (adjusted) is very very likely IMO. We'll see.

How do you get that? Japan alone would be in the 80's with today's exchange rate plus China has expanded greatly since then.

[druv10]

Let's just say, SM at it's height of popularity is equal to TDKR.

[keysersoze123]

SM3 released around the time dollar was very weak. So I doubt the adjusted number will be that high. Only currency that is lot stronger is Japan. I think TDKR can beat SM3 adjusted to 2012 exchange rates with a STRONG CHINA RUN.

[The Dark Alfred]

It will beat SM3, which is a remarkable achievement, considering that Spidey was the only popular SH OS. Batman takes the crown now, which is truly amazing.

[Shawn Robbins]

TDKR International: $20.6m / $487.8m total overseas

[keysersoze123]

That is a good number considering the weather in europe. I think it opened in UAE. I am sure that would have helped its hold.

[John Marston]

Seems like a good hold. Hope any lost business from hot weather is made up
