@That Ambitious Guy is threadbanned for waking up in a good mood. FUCK HIS GOOD MOOD. 

 

@CJohn's plan for the weekend:

 

[That One Girl]

Feels really weird to finally be 17.  I mean I don’t feel older at all but it’s cool.

[Lordmandeep]

With a 36 million Preview, it should open to at least 210 million and more around 216-220 million, with 45 million previews i have no idea how high it can open but it should do at least 235 million.

Well there are more presales for Saturday then for today at my theatre. 

 

The look at my theatre today, every show today will be more than half full in the morning and afternoon shows will be more than 3/4 full and nighttime shows will be sold out. 

 

It is hard to tell but if this movie wants to break the record it will have to get some of the ridiculous day business ever. 

Some dude at my theater bought an 11:40pm for Thursday, a 3pm for Saturday and a 2pm for Sunday all at once. I was wondering why he was so slow at the ticket machine lol

I have noticed MCU fans are going like Star War fans for this and going many many times.

 

If I like this movie I will likely watch it a 2nd time and take my younger cousins next weekend and I never seen a MCU movie more then once in theatres.

This is getting the opening weekend record. The only question is by how much.

You were only a 7 year old kid when Iron Man was released and the MCU was born?

 

You were just a wee baby.

What films did Tdk and tdkr influence? Even Warner was influenced by avengers and tried, and failed spectacularly, to copy marvel’s formula. As far as hype goes, tdk was aimed by its main actor’s death, just like f&f7, and tdkr was crushed by the avengers at the WW bo so the extra hype is only in your mind.

 

If nothing else it’s marvel that changed the entire industry not tdk films.

Look... I’m on 4 hours of sleep and I give infinity war 8.5/10... I’ve watched these forums for years and it’s a good time but I gotta step out for this one 

 

What films did the dark knight and Nolan’s films influence? Lmao

Ryan Coogler literally said he was inspired by The dark knight dynamic of Batman and the joker when it came to tchalla and killmonger. And he said his killmonger was inspired by the joker

 

The dark knight opened the door for comic films being taken as legit films- the oscars suffered such a backlash from not nominating it in 2009 oscars that they changed the best picture format- if Black Panther gets nominated you will see this brought up again by multiple media outlets - you can thank the dark knight for that consideration

 

Batman Begins (or casino royale) is the modern blueprint for a successful reboot and an original hero movie- you can ask Jon favreau Who said he was influenced by Batman begins

 

The dark knight has actually been put on Best film lists- not like hyperbole Internet dork lists, like actually critic lists

 

Heath ledger dying helped, but don’t act like the movie wouldn’t have been a 400+ million dollar hit at the time - ledgers joker was gaining Oscar buzz pre death, there was massive hype building due to Batman begins and it’s goodwill. 

 

Not just comic book villains but every single VILLAIN PERIOD has been put on the joker bar since the movie came out- he’s ascended to Vader, Hannibal level classic villain status.

 

The dark knight has become one of the most quotable movies of all time - “why so serious” “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” “he’s not the hero we deserve” - all quoted everywhere 

 

A piece of music from the dark knight soundtrack is more recognizable then most if not all of MCU’s entire score catalog. 

 

When TDKR came out it was one of the most hyped movies ever-even with avengers blowing up. It was tracking for a 180+ million opening before the theater massacre happened and even Box office mojo had it at a 214 million dollar opening pre shooting 

 

This is all off the top of my head

 

MCU has changed things, forever(see what I see there?).  MCU changed the entire landscape when it comes to cohesive on screen universe building - it’s incredible and studios are trying to copy it no doubt. It’s consistency is almost unparalleled and no franchise is bigger worldwide right now in terms of the sheer volume of films and result the mcu has evolved into- But don’t go crappin on the Dark knight trilogy acting like it didn’t change the game too. Its probably regarded as one of the best trilogies of all time (Real talk). It’s just fake news mang. Other films influenced - Skyfall (As previously mentioned)

- other movies just by simple googling (Id use a better source but just didn’t feel like searching haha http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2017/5-great-films-influenced-by-the-dark-knight-that-arent-superhero-movies/)

I'm not so sure. It will depend on Sunday's gross.

I think it's going to have such huge Friday and Saturday numbers that the Sunday number won't really matter by much.

If previews are really 45M, it would need 202M top top TFA.

Something like 64 75 63? but that would be a big Sunday (actually the biggest ever)
