Disney should buy rights to other Tolkien books and start TCU.

The Silmarilion please. It would be so epic.

Is it crazy to think $100M OD is possible with that number?

[excel1]

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is so underrated. Thematically powerful - Bruce Wayne is stops being depressed and rediscovers his own humanity and urge to live a real life; great villains -Bane and Catwoman were tremendous; awesome action, great humor, awesome music...its what every marvel movie aspires to be

 

TDKR no doubt beats Avengers at box office if it has 3D and no theater massacre

That type of previews to OD multiplier would be very high, but not unheard of.

You're laughing?  I'm terrified

Once you've seen a cat cough up a mouse head you're well past being terrified of dancing and singing CGI Cat Furred things.

I love BP. I mean it has all the elements you just listed that were great about TDKR except action (which I don't think TDKR has great action either).

It isn't imaginary, ask anyone associated with theaters. Business tanked from Friday night onward. Deadline initial 5 PM estimate - deadline was more accurate back then - had it at $90m opening day, it came with just $75m, mass reports of poor walk-up business in th nights and throughout the weekend.

 

Of course its a tragedy; several of the victims twitter accounts are still active with the last posts being about the excitement for the movie. Im just noting the semi-consensus that TDKR underperformed is a bunch of nonsense when taken in context
