Rth's numbers were 74-77M. Not that much of a difference (less than 5%), if the West Coast brings it back up to that range or higher, we will update again. The rule has always been to update with latest numbers.

Heh, good one .

 

The Joker is iconic and transcends the genre.

 

The rest isn't that impressive. 

 

For me, Batman The Animated Series is definitive Batman. 

 

I'll take that over "We must transcend comics", Law and Order Batman any day of the week.

The movie itself might be a CA sequel but this has been marketed as a IM vs CA movie. It's pretty much a Avengers sequel.

so this weekend will be exciting after all! the race to o/u im3!

One thing that I really hope happens now is that people realize just how hard it is to hit a $200m weekend, even in this 3D/PLF era.  You can have a hugely buzzy film with very high critical acclaim that is part of a highly successful franchise that is well known to the GP and still come up way short.

 

Why?  Who the hell knows, beyond luck and kismet.  Sure, lots of us can point to reasons after the fact.  And, sure again, timing has something to do with it.  But to absolutely expect it as a lock beforehand?  Just too many unknowns.

 

So, let this be a lesson to us all to appreciate just awesome and special the weekends were for TA, JW, TFA, and even AoU* (which came a little short),

 

There will be $200m weekends in the future, perhaps soon in the future.  But let's make sure to appreciate them for what they are when they come and not expect them for every film we really really like.

TDK is not a true Superhero movie, it's well made for the most part. but I find it incredibly pretentious for trying to avoid be associated with SH films like there is some kind of stigma surrounding them. and it has awful action scenes, Bale has almost no range as Bruce Wayne, and it's pretty much a joker film. I thought Ben Affleck was way better as Bruce, and well BvS wasn't even very good. but yeah it's also pretty much responsible for ruining MoS and the DCEU so far. Civil War deals with serious themes, while still remembering that is in fact a Superhero film and comic book movie. it has ground-breaking action scenes, well development characters with clear motivations, excellent performances, and almost everything works despite them having to deal with like 10 characters. I know my opinion is not what the masses think, but it will never change on this. so let me have it.

 

P.S I am not a big Batman fan and never have been so why would I love it so much?

Is that a misprint?  Mother's Day isn't going to drop at all this weekend?

So you guys think this will finish with less than 400 now?

 

How?

 

Worse legs than IM3 would shock me.

 

The WOM is GotG/Avengers/Iron Man level.

[narniadis]

Holy shot batman that increase for TJB is awesome - right around +200% if it holds.... lol at huntsman managing to stay in top 5 and Zoos hold is alright all things considering will definitely overtake BVS now this weekend 

[grim22]

Preview percentage of opening day:

 

TA1 - $18.7m/$80.81m = 23.14%

IM3 - $15.6m/$68.86m = 22.65%

TA2 - $27.6m/$85m = 32.47%

CW - $25m/$74-76m = 32.9%-33.7%

 

More frontloaded compared to all the other big openers. On Saturday, TA1 jumped 12% and IM3 jumped 17% from Friday business. A 20% jump is needed to hit 60M on Saturday and if it holds 25% on Sunday, it will be at 45M.

It will increase on Sunday. I am sure Mother's Day will get a huge Mother's Day boost. It is the right length, short enough for families to go for brunch and catch a movie, inoffensive enough and stars recognizable names.

Well, then good for Open Road for releasing it at the right time.
