I have my doubts about The Way of Water passing $187.4M on OW so it appears Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will keep the biggest opening of 2022.

I just rewatched The Dark Knight and it isnt even funny how much better that movie is than literally everything that came out after it in the superhero genre.

 

This is no swing at other movies, dont get me wrong. Im just baffled right now, i didnt remember how perfect TDK is, its unfair honestly.

 

Subjective but stuff like Deadpool, Infinity War, Spider-verse and Superman the Movie have higher replay value for me.

 

I understand Ledger's performance elevated the movie and the consensus is TDK is the best though.

JW record seems safe for a long time. From a SH movie perspective it seems only Avengers movies and mega events like NWH seem capable to break the 200m barrier post pandemic (maybe the farewell Tom Holland Spidey movie will also be big). And Marvel usually places them in the traditional April/May slot or the December slot. 

 

Apart from SH movies the only others I can think of getting to the 200m mark might be Avatar sequels (maybe not the upcoming one but the finale if the movies are good) and maaaaybe a TGM sequel. But Avatar movies are all in December slot so JW record is safe from that.

I really like TDK but I wouldn't put it as my best superhero movie or even in the top tier, I think it's a bit overrated in a similar vein to ESB.

The headline is a little misleading, as Eternals also had a $100m promo partner campaign and opened to $70m, but the article is interesting.

Agreed about ESB, great movie but feels a bit over rated. Personally think ANH is far better. 
 

But TDK for me is definitely top tier SH movie. Not my all time fav SH movie but its right up there near the top.

I know this is a "me" thing, but the one thing that always takes me out of Dark Knight is how the climax is based around government phone surveillance being a good thing that saves the day. Which like...that's really weird.

Happy Wakanda Forever performed well this weekend. Interested to see it’s legs now. 41m Sunday is great, far from the 60m of the 1st one though.

 

However it just reminds you how amazing the performance the 1st film was, it was very exciting at the time. Wakanda Forever won’t come close to that but that 1st film was just lightning in a bottle.

Yeah the first one's Sunday was the perfect combo of cultural phenomenon type word of mouth and holiday weekend (Presidents' Day).

Morgan Freeman’s character is appalled by it and its implications and threatens to resign over it. So while showing it to be somewhat useful to Batman the movie also makes it clear that it is a morally and ethically bad thing.

BP's first Sunday was the second largest Sunday ever at the time, behind only TFA I believed (60.1 vs 60.5).
