kayumanggi Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I hate when that type of crap happens to me...Punching babies should be aloud like in THE CAMPAIGN. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Oh big deal, "killer" is an adjective used for basically anything good. Hardly something that should be pulled from the shelves.It's not about that, just the tragic irony. Of course, hindsight is 20/20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasanahmad Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 A $180-185m opening is really great, and puts it right around the average of normal estimates. Not to mention, wouldn't that mean it sold about the same number of tickets as TA's OW? WB itself only had it pegged at $170m... BE HAPPY, people! this. Either people have lost it or they need a break from tragic events here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nAlkaline Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This will, of course, degenerate into a fruitless debate about the effects of the shooting vs. the Heath Ledger factor in attempting to explain the overall runs of the two films. Personally, going off a conservative 180M OW estimate, I see this hitting around 500M. WOM, even if it's generally accepted to be a bit beneath TDK, will still be excellent and should help this along. The loaded upcoming release schedule won't however.

Sims Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Only a troll would pretend Ledger's absence has more of an impact than a FUCKING HISTORIC SHOOTING THAT HAPPENED LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My guess is less.I was thinking the same.80M OD50M Sat40M Sun170M OW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire of Themyscira Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Actually what it does is confirm just how much of an impact A) The Joker is to a film and B-Ledger's death further increased and overinflated how TDK performed.The performance here is bringing it back down to where it should've been.No, it doesn't. No one is ever truly going to know what happened this weekend. Everything to me seems all over the place. It can't be proven. At least not yet.

John Marston Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I can't believe your practically denying the shooting had any effect. yep, and bringing up this Ledger crap again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishMB Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 With a 180M OW there is no way it will reach 500M with the type of WOM that is getting, IMO.What WOM are you and Baumer talking about? My theater gave TWO standing ovations... My theater also just added three midnight shows for tonight. That's never happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the opening actually ends up in that range, then I will feel better. I just have a very hard time believing it can get 100-105 over Saturday and Sunday.

DavidBrennan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (Watching BB on the FX channel now. I love how simple fires cause a huge stone castle of a house to implode on itself. If only Medieval generals understood this, they wouldn't have wasted all that time on battering rams and stone catapults!)With the Olympics, TRCL, and TE2 coming up soon, and no Heath Ledger to bring in the Us Magazine crowd, this has exactly a 0% chance of catching TA.

CJohn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) 3:30 AM here. Going to sleep now.Still believe the shooting had an effect and made some people not leaving their houses to go to the nearest theater and see TDKR.

MrPink Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) It's hard to gauge the WOM but I wouldn't characterize it as bad.Possibly disappointing, sure. But even then there are quite a few raves. Edited July 21, 2012 by MrPink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishMB Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Me and pretty much my entire 14 person group from last night thought it was the best, with the best ending, and possibly one of the best films ever. I think it was perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
