Sims Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If it is 75, hopefully that will put to bed the ridiculous idea that the shootings meant nothing for box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 At the moment, anything above 80M is good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 75m would be Twilight level frontloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Disney Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Damn it seems like Nolan Batman films as be Strucken with controversy for all 3 movies.What was the controversy with the first one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm56 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Wow, 75 would definitely be a bit disheartening.I do think the shooting, while not necessarily scaring that many people away from theaters, is sort of sucking the fun out of Batman at the moment. Not what this movie needs on OW.It sucks that we were robbed of a completely legitimate Avengers (Marvel) vs. Batman (DC) showdown.The Batman films don't have much 'fun' to suck out to begin with IMO. I thought TDK was excellent but I'm not sure I'd call it fun. The Avengers oozed fun and I think audiences reacted to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 What was the controversy with the first one?Katie Holmes. At the time, Tom Cruise had just did his big stunt on Oprah, and Katie was all they talked about when BB opened. That is why Katie Holmes was recasted.

nAlkaline Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If it is 75, hopefully that will put to bed the ridiculous idea that the shootings meant nothing for box office.What figure would you draw the line as indicative of little to no effect from the shooting incident? If the number comes back reasonable (80M+), I think it becomes impossible to ascertain the BO hit, if any, from the shooting. Of course, it then becomes dependent on individual expectations for a reasonable TDKR OD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Disney Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Katie Holmes. At the time, Tom Cruise had just did his big stunt on Oprah, and Katie was all they talked about when BB opened. That is why Katie Holmes was recasted.I didn't know that was the reason. Thank goodness though because if you think I didn't like Hathaway, then you don't wanna know what I thought about Holmes.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 At this point, even 170M OW is hard to achive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I can't think of any reason -- other than the shooting -- why TDKR non-midnights would come in lower than TDK's, unadjusted. We don't have confirmation of that, of course, but anywhere close to it IMHO is shocking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Disney Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Katie Holmes Tom Cruise CrazinessTo be honest, I don't think that's a huge controversy. Not on the level of what TDK and TDKR have experienced. Ironically, the controversy helped TDK and will hurt TDKR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superduperm Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I can't believe this has an effin' chance to lose against TDK's $158.4MOh please RTH, give us some good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have confirmation of that, of course, but anywhere close to it IMHO is shocking.It burnt off 30.6M in demand at midnight. Some people are underwhelmed with that number, but it's absolutely huge, and definitely took pressure off matinees and evening showings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the legs are fairly remarkable, we can assume it may have played a hand Edited July 21, 2012 by MrPink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be utterly shocked at anything under 170M. I still expect a total around 180M due to stronger than expected Saturday and Sunday holds offsetting any shooting effect today.

Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Best news could be like TA opening day was seen around 65-70 and RTH said 80 million.However indications are way below past films on Friday in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
