If the movie was as good as The Avengers or TDK than yes it could have made between 200-225.  What's so funny or surprising about that?

 

However... people like Excel just assumed that having the Trinity was enough to propel OW to 200+

200M would have happened. 

Not that I agree or disagree but these discussions as what TDKR would have made always have me Jacksoning. So do the Ultron OW debates that discuss the big boxing match.

I don't see any way, it could have made an additional $48M. The impact of the shooting is just pure conjecture. The kind of loss people are speculating never could have happened given that TDKR never really had out of the world drops after the first weekend to indicate that the missing auds from first weekend audience watched TDKR later down the line.

 

3D added over $20m to Avengers. It's a fact that you want to deny. My post NEVER said the shooting took away $48m from TDKR. I've said repeatedly $15-20m impact by the shooting. 3D would add another $20m. I think Avengers would b ahead but probably less than $10m when you equalize for all factors.

Most people that stayed away OW never went back. I knew about 6 or 7 people that wouldn't go see it in fear of copy cats. And it being named the batman shooter across multiple news outlets didn't help. Now yeah it is only 6 people I know but still.

I don't mind another TF-sequel being made. All Paramount has to do.....is to learn from their mistakes of the previous films....and fix those problems that made the other ones, badly-recieved.

 

1. Make the action more thrilling & interesting for the audience...in order for them to see what's going on.

2. Make the human characters more engaging & likeable.....not unlikeable annoying pricks.

3. Have a story that is compelling and not distracted by action-overuse. You can have action scenes....but just make sure they don't take away from the story.

 

And then the fans can like TF-films too, again. Easy.

 

Thats true. All of it.

 

They made tons of money without ever fixing these mistakes though. So I guess there is little hope with that.

Tdk and TDKR were much more hyped then The Avengers 1&2. 

 

 

More hyped than AOU? Sure.

 

More hyped then Avengers? I'd say TA was definitely in the same category of hype.

 

The hype was building for four years throughout phase one. It wasn't your typical event film.

Have you seen Last Seduction? 

I think people are genuinely afraid of her

after watching this movie. Sharon Stone is like

a Disney Girl compared to her.

 

 

 

 

Yeah, it's great. Red Rock West is pretty good too.

This gif tries to suggest a narrative that is just not there IMO.

Yeah.

 

Making a good and well-recieved TF-sequel can't be hard thing for Paramount to do.

 

Are there anyone else who want to see a TF-film done right and done good?

Technically yep. I think WB fudged it to barely beat Ultron.

cant believe we missed this early wom projections per deadline 

According to ComScore PostTrak, which polls throughout the weekend, the word of mouth is great for BvS. Seventy-one percent of Thursday’s crowd gave BvS an excellent or very good grade. Even better news for Warner Bros. after those reviews: 60% of the audience said they would definitely recommend BvS to their friends while 33% said they’ll probably tell them about it. Older males were out in force (no surprise) at 69% guys, 57% over 25. Fifty-one percent saw it in 3D. Twenty-five percent said BvS exceeded their expectations while 60% said the film met their expectations.

Ta hype was big however it was the last two weeks that drive it sky high.

 

 

Anyone notice Sw7 was the only recent film that had ridiclous expectations and met and exceeded them.

I'm not going to use 3d since it did not have 3D and was so by choice. It was never going to get that extra $$$$ for 3D.

 

It is like saying that KFP3 lost about $75M+ by releasing on the wrong weekend in China. Too bad, it is what it is. It was DW's choice to release that weekend. 

 

For all wanting to use ticket sales to bolster TDK/TDKR, then Shrek 2 sold more tickets than any movie since 2000 barring TFA. Yes more than Avatar, TA, SM and TDK.

Yup. Pretty much...,

 

I dunno what the OW for BvS...will be exactly? The one thing that had going against The Dark Knight Rises's OW....was the shooting at Colorado.

Speaking of SW: TFA, with an opening like that, is it correct to say that its legs were just "ordinary?"
