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.

 

 

Different takes on the character and the property. Nothing wrong with that.

Worse legs than IM3 would shock me.

 

The WOM is GotG/Avengers/Iron Man level.

 

 

It also has strong competition and will be more front loaded as a sequel in general

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

Rough estimate of course is dependent on Sunday but that's like a 195% Friday increase and it really is the truest female flick playing so I could see 7m+ happening with that Friday number. 

[grey ghost]

Even if this was considered an Avengers sequel, that means people will mostly associate it with the very average AOU.

 

Obviously the luke warm reception to AOU had bigger than expected ripple effects.

probably not. down only 26% on friday, less after previews and Sunday will hold big

8% RT. People are going to see it because of the title and tomorrows holiday. unreal

If a movies was  about me for some reason and had an 8% RT I wouldn't go see it

I'm not saying a series can't have a different take but Nolan's version isn't some gold standard for me.

 

If someone asked me why I like Batman, I'd show them my favorite episodes of Batman The Animated Series instead of TDK.

Until the vastly superior WOM kicks in, which should be immediately.

I'd probably show them Under The Red Hood, or Mask of The Phantasm personally. I admire and think greatly of Nolan's trilogy, but there's plenty of other great interpretations of the character, that I don't think Batman even has a gold standard in the first place.

TJB drop well below 50%. Zootopia drops below 40%.

340m+ will happen for both.

 

Rth spot on as usual with the 74-77m range.

It doesn't matter. See CA2. The series audience is not expanding after 13 films. It will be lucky to hit 400m.

Winter Soldier legs puts this above 430 m.

 

Ant-Man legs puts it above 500 m.

 

WOM suggests it should fall in that range if not higher.

Funny how these $200M+ proclamations came out and completely forget (intentional or not) how we heard the same thing a year ago with Age of Ultron.

 

This is a great opening but the fact is the overhype warped realistic expectations, and we honestly hear this every time an MCU film open from advanced reviews/online buzz.

25+50+55+45=177

25+50+60+49=183

The audience already expanded by alot if we're using CA2 as a reference point.

 

And if this gets CA2 legs it crosses 400 m by a decent margin.

I think it will be closer to IM3 than Ultron, like 177m maybe.

 

 

Stingray knows. 

 

Either way, this is a fantastic number, no two ways. Think about it. Fucking Captain America will open higher than Batman and Superman. That's crazy.

 

The fools who predicted 225 and shit only have themselves to blame. They let their fanboy cloud their judgment.
 

[John Marston]

This is a fine number but I'm laughing at this revisionism of people now going "it's a Captain Americs movie, this is amazing!" When this is a clear Avengers movie and marketed that way
