CloneWars Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If the numbers are blocked... is that a terrible sign? Like, is WB going to block out the numbers no matter how bad or record-breaking they are? Or are they only going to block them if they are meh?They might even block them if they are record breaking because they probably want to distance the money this makes from the killings for as long possible which would be Monday.

riczhang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The first 60 pages of the TASM thread were the most fun here all year and the first 60 pages of this thread were the worst.That thread was pure gold, we need to frame it, and put it on a wall somewhere.

Walt Disney Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Maybe not exciting. Poor choice of words on my part. Their box office openings were more talked about and caused more excitement/meltdowns/flamewars than this. I'm specifically referring to ASM I agree with you. I was here for 3 of the movies you listed in your post (wasn't here for John carter) and all had a lot of strong reactions after the first few days. With no solid numbers, it's tough to react to TDKR. It does hurt the discussion on this forum. Edited July 21, 2012 by Walt Disney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This is my first day off in two weeks. I did not expect my day off to suck so much. This massacre is just horrible. So sad so many lives effected by this shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraserhead Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 On Jan 1st, who would have guessed The Hunger Games, The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman and John Carter to an extent would have been more exciting and talked about runs than The Dark Knight Rises on these forums?Certainly not more talked about.

superduperm Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 He said he'd be checking up on TDKR soon, he probably left to do just that.He left a minute after he made that statement, then came back.He then left a second time. That is what I am referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That thread was pure gold, we need to frame it, and put it on a wall somewhere. Yep. I didn't care about that movie at all so I pretty much stopped following it after the first couple of days but Sony's Puerto Rico sent the forums over the edge. Good times.

jse Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Would 180 OW be an admissions record?Probably not. Would have to do 185M or more i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumos Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 No, it needs probably 185M+ depending on how much it makes in IMAX.Well everyone keeps saying that, but I don't think its that high. The avengers had a pretty high 3D share after all....I think i worked it a while ago that was about 178M....slightly ahead of TDK and Spiderman 3. I'm too tired to figure it out at the moment though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 lol I think comparing TDK and TA is pointless now.They both did well based on expectations or what happened to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I have it at around 182 adjusted for 3D, but not IMAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I have it at around 182 adjusted for 3D, but not IMAX.Sounds bout right, and TDKR will make much more money in IMAX than TA, pushing the 182 figure up to over 185 for the admissions record.

kitik Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Just guessing here, but based on a very random sample (ie. people around us at the theater last night, and folks at Steak N Shake afterwards), WOM is going to be good, but not excellent. The consensus seemed to be that it was a good movie, but not as good as the previous one.I thought TDKR was a fantastic movie, but without posting any spoilers, I think there are a few segments in the movie that won't be loved by more casual moviegoers.This won't have as much repeat business as TDK had, and it's WOM won't be anywhere near as good as The Avengers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSaber Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I believe a poster, can't remember who, tried to find TA's number minus surcharges and came out with between 170-175m, right around SM3 and TDK. I think that is the goal right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theater exploded with positive reactions last night. Some people, such as myself, thought it was even better than TDK.Besides, it's the conclusion. Everything that happened in TDK leads to the ending of TDKR. I don't see why people wouldn't rush to see it... unless they are afraid of... yeah...

Ariadne Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I live in Colorado and work at a Theater in Denver Colorado. It was Modly decent but we still had people returning tickets even though they added extra Security at our place.People were returning tickets? Can they do that?That's super lame, you're far more likely to be killed driving to the cinema to return your tickets than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
