Magic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 "We were expecting great walk-ups. The early report suggested that the OD record was in play. Clearly the shooting killed off the evening business apart from pre-sales."Business looked huge and then walk ups fail to materializeWho said that?

Gideon Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If people associate the shooting with Batman.This.All this dark atmosphere was "cool" or "trendy" in summer 2008.Definitely not in 2012, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I wonder why.Because all the loonies bought tickets before hand. Then the general public, due to the shooting and the lack of interest because of the joker factor, didn't come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarantino666 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think you're the one sleeping bud.Good retort. :rolleyes:Like I said, nobody is going to shoot up empty screening rooms. There's really no other way to spin this. But continue to try if it makes you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Gitesy and THR said it was doing around 90 million.Then Nikki said it was doing below TA in terms of ticket sales during Friday and then it did worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTF Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Whatevs, dude.People get killed every day.C'est la vie.No biggie.TDKR has average wom.Yeah, people get killed everyday, but 12-14 people massacres like this in public places do not happen every freakin day in the US. This is columbine all over again, that was 13 years ago and that is still remembered today.Anyone who is brushing this off is completely out of touch because they're either from another country, lying on purpose or doesn't have the mental capacity to understand what's going on.

lab276 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Because all the loonies bought tickets before hand. Then the general public, due to the shooting and the lack of interest because of the joker factor, didn't come. The no-Joker factor seems pretty insignificant when you put them together like that.

kayumanggi Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Walk-ups have been greatly affected IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Given the goodwill... no, that would be disappointing. Nope. TDK already sold a crapload of tickets. Not falling behind TDK is a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmscholar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 People asking "Why isn't this affecting other movies". It's The Batman/The Dark Knight Shootings. The Killer called himself The Joker for crying out loud. People are paranoid of this movie now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
