May 7 - 10, 2012 Weekday Numbers: AVENGERS 12.5 Thurs pg 61

TAs impact has more of a hype ending . Tdks ending is a much more emotional ending, not only the best comic book movie ending but one of the best movie endings. Its a preference. I mean seriously which comic movie ending dialoh has matched the very final lines

It's a wonderful ending, and not just the final lines. The look in Bale's eyes when he says, "I killed those people." Mix that with Zimmer's music in the background. DAMN. Like I've said many times before, the last 5-10 minutes of that movie is the only time I really feel connected to Bruce in the same way I did in Batman Begins.

No final scene has boosted Shawarma sales like TA's.

At what hour will it be reasonable to shout: WANT FRIDAY NUMBERS!"?

And i get the feeling tdkr will refocus back on batman unlike tdk where some people inadvertendly focused on the joker

IMAX in Toronto has Avengers playing at 2:00 pm and 10:15 pm, all the rest are Dark Shadows. That sucks for Avengers and it will lose some business for sure.

I really want Shawarma to become peopular I miss so much. I eat all the time in London but now i never can eat it.

Shawarma is pretty much kebab, right?BTW Kebab is fucking amazing. Better than pizza. And I pity the poor fool who has never tasted kebab.

No, kebab is on a stick and shawarma is thinly cut and served in a wrap.

Hello there! :newhere:I'm a looooong-time lurker of the Mojo forums who found her way over here, and had such a good time trying to keep up with the MASSIVE thread and all the box office history that happened last weekend, I thought I'd finally register and get in before whatever happens this weekend, happens, LOL.Saw TA last weekend and plan to see it again, I loved it, and so did my brother that went with me. Even my mother wants to see it! I do think it'll get to $100 million this weekend, though said brother (who also is a box office follower) is a bit skeptical just because the number is so crazy to even contemplate. But I guess after a $207 million 1st weekend (and some of the strong numbers during the weekdays)...anything is possible?!?! :excited:Anyway, just wanted to poke my head in before the madness starts. Let's see what history's still to come!

Why do they call donor kebab shawarma? I thought it was different thing. It`s made differently for sure.

Well welcome aboard but the TA madness began about 10 or so days ago. That bridge has been crossed.

Shawarma is basically a variation of gyro...they use a different combo.of.meats

I had major problems with the final 5 minutes of TDK. A) Batman isn't supposed to kill, especially an essentially good man like Harvey Dent, who had only fallen to the Dark Side in the last week (?) or so of his life. In doing so, the Joker basically won - Batman broke his "one rule." I think Bats should've figured out another solution. I was much more interested in Joker than Two-Face, so the showdown with Harvey seemed anticlimactic to me. C) It was just too "clean" that Batman was going to be blamed for what Dent did. Again, Joker's prophecy comes to pass: The public turns on Batman. Brilliant in some eyes; convenient and contrived in mine. D) Gordon's son: If Batman saved my life at that age, it would take a lot more than Dad's frilly speech at the end to prevent me from blabbing nonstop to every friend/teacher/acquaintance about what really happened that night. I'd call the papers if I saw everyone calling Batman a killer, knowing what had actually happened.

Despite the ending, I do love the movie, mostly cuz of Joker/Ledger.
