kayumanggi Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I still believe in 500 M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 JOkE?Okay, maybe $550M maximum with great legs and great 2nd weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballboi Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It has no shot at the opening weekend record.Yep. Especially after the 70M opening day total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bapi Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well, some people are overreacting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Interest not there. Please. That is utter crap.Obviously there is interest, it is going to be the second biggest opening weekend of all time. But not the feverish interest that TDK had because of the Joker and Heath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If Saturday is below 40M, this will definitely miss 400M.That can not happen, can it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 There is no way to prove it one way or the other but the Heath/Joker effect had a huge say in this. TDK had a 3.4 multiplier. That's unheard of coming off an opening weekend. The interest in this just isnt there, not at that kind of a level. This. No lighting in bottle this july. Could the movie be too depressed/dark for people's taste this summer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm very mixed on the film, but this is heartbreaking. No film deserves to have its box office lowered because of an act of a lunatic. I'm really hoping this means its opening weekend is going to be deflated.Watch it drop 35-40% next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxOfficeZ Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Could the movie be too depressed/dark for people's taste this summer?Then that wouldn't be helped by the shootings I'd imagine.What a disappointing number if true, its pretty obvious now the shootings had an effect.

baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Okay, maybe $550M maximum with great legs and great 2nd weekend.It would need better than a 3 muliplier to get that. 2.5-2.7 is where I think it will land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I still believe in 500 M.Yeah. Lets see what the actuals are first and what happens with sat number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My prediction for TDKR's OW was 165m for months. This would be the worst possible way for me to be right, though. I hope the number goes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 And you're saying the shooting had no effect?Not much.There was a shooting on Reloaded's first weekend. 3 or 4 people died then too. Did anyone use that as an excuse as to why Reloaded didn't open higher? Nope. And the reason they didn't is because it already opened pretty high. If Avengers had not done what it did, a 170-180 OW would be considered good. Now your expectations are completely out of what because another film did 200 mill OW aided by 3D.

Heretic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Of-course, we'll never really know, but I'd say the events of yesterday have knocked off a good 20m or so from the potential opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 165m OW??? OMG I never imagined this, my 195m OW prevision is gone...TDKR crushed by The Avengers, 2012 is so unpredictable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I can only conclude that your opinion of the weekend is clouded by your opinion of the film. Same could be said for the faction that claims otherwise ("killings had a huge impact"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 No he is absolutely right and the legs of this movie will shock many people (in a bad way) .I think business for theaters will be at an all time low for the next few months after the massacre. It'll take BD2 for things to return back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
