Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 no ^^^DH2 did break the opening record of 12.9 million but made only 44 milion (which is great still) and that was in 3D.TDK had the 2nd highest opening weekend ever when it opened and made 52 million.Since then the only film to outgross was Avatar and TA.

pixiesvision Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 When the media is warning people day and night about law enforcement worrying about copycats, people will be afraid to go. I mean, paranoia and Americans go hand in hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Wow....It happened in a MOVIE THEATER!!!! Are you really so obtuse to believe people wouldn't stay away from the entire complex to avoid being anywhere near? THINK! Thosr drops will tell the stpry.The media overwhelmingly refer to the incident as the "Batman massacre". This kiiling wouldn't have become such a big news item without Batman name attached to it.

pieman Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Why aren't any other movies being affected by the shooting? They are all in line with predictions. Aren't people supposed to be afraid to go to the movies? Edited July 21, 2012 by pieman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Funny how it's only 13% more. lolYeah.. only 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think drops over the next few days plus 2nd weekend drop will tell us the effects of the shooting. If it drops under 50% next weekend shootings clearly deflated the OW, no question about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 25M tickets - easily attainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't people afraid to go to the movies in general?Well it did happen at a midnight showing of TDKR. The film has just become associated with it.

John Marston Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 this opening weekend will be LESS than Spider-Man 3 adjustedThis opening weekend is bad, there is no other way to spin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So the mentality is that if you go to TDKR you will die but if you go to any other movie than you should be fine? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it drops under 50% next weekend shootings clearly deflated the OW, no question about that.But no one is saying that the shootings didn't have an effect. Some of us are saying not too great of an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 We probably saw less than 20 gifs in 200 pages.I don't even think the 2nd WE thread will be in party mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 With a good 2nd weekend and legs this will do fine and $500m+ as people will just watch it later on and not on OW.It was not going to do $200M+ OW without 3D so if it beats DH2 OW that will be a success.

baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So the mentality is that if you go to TDKR you will die but if you go to any other movie than you should be fine?Bingo. And by theory, if parents are keeping their kids out of the movies, shouldn't IA4, Mad3 and Brave suffer 60-75% drops this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The goodwill from SM2 led to SM3 breaking the OW record. Surely it wasn't unrealistic to expect the goodwill from TDK to carry over significantly for TDKR. It's going to barely sell more tickets if at all. Not if TDK already played at peak performance for a Batman (superhero) movie. SM3 broke the OW record because it had no TA to deal with. SM3, TKD, TKDR, TA all will roughly sell the same amount of tickets on OW, the difference is 3D for TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't people supposed to be afraid to go to the movies?If a gunman wants to commit a mass killing, he/she is probably not going to shoot up a 4th week screening of Madea's Witness Protection.Open your eyes people.
