Hatebox Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 This makes me realise that, especially without the joker, TDKR did pretty well to not fall more than it did domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) That would be awesome. Yeah, there are like 20 Avengers in AoU, most of the actors are being paid big bucks! Iron Man 4 would look like a bargain, you just need RDJ, Paltrow, and Cheadle back. IM3's ending wasn't that great. Iron Man is still the only solo Avenger that can have a movie hit one billion WW. Tony deserves a better closing movie! Edited May 3, 2015 by Mojoguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 This makes me realise that, especially without the joker, TDKR did pretty well to not fall more than it did domestically. In the case of Dark Knight Rises, you can honestly point to some of the drop to the Colorado tragedy and that dickhead James Holmes. But even without it... honestly, I'd still say it wouldn't have hit $500M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I think it'll prognosticated at 192 mill and when the actuals come in it will be 189 mill. I also think this kills 500 mill. I'm giving it a 2.6 and that puts it at about 492 mill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Riiight...so just under 200, second biggest OW. How is this bad? Because shut up and fall in line with the massive circlejerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joker is a marketer's dream and TDKR didn't have that luxury. Edited May 3, 2015 by Hatebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawa Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I can't say I'm surprised. I feel like this movie was one of the most hyped ever. Historically, sequels to extremely high grossing movies like that don't match the original's gross. Also, I doubt this gets as good WOM as the first film. I enjoyed it, but the first film was a groundbreaking event. This just felt like another sequel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernus Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If you think this is a disaster (and it isn't), wait till Avatar 2 opens. You seriously don't think 400-450 is a disaster? And yet you also say that you never expected that this will struggle to fight dark knight rises domestically..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 No, but TDK 'only' got 530m so even with all that 450m is pretty damn good. The Joker is a marketer's dream and TDKR didn't have that luxury. Given the awful circumstances, nobody was suggesting $450M was bad or even disappointing. Only idiots were. Dark Knight Rises didn't have the Joker/Ledger factor, no. But it had fantastic trailers, posters and that image of the broken mask was top notch marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again we're talking about $400M+ box office. That isn't a disaster. You want a disaster? Go look up Heaven's Gate. If Age of Ultron doesn't crack $400M (which it will crack), then we'll start using the D word. Edited May 3, 2015 by filmnerdjamie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeZ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 The superhero movie genre has plateaued. I dunno if one can argue that yet. I mean this film is going to do a 190m weekend. CBM genre is definitely not dead. Give it a few more years though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Given the awful circumstances, nobody was suggesting $450M was bad or even disappointing. Only. Agreed. My point was merely that TA2's likely dom gross makes TDKR even more impressive in hindsight. And I say that as someone who didn't think TDKR was a particularly good movie.
