wboxoffice Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ok...lets put this into points. Easy to digest.1. TDKR hype was nowhere near TDK hype2. TDKR was always going to be more frontloaded than TDK3. The media have dubbed this 'THE BATMAN MASSACRE' so it will obviously effect TDKR.4. This will always remain the biggest 'What if?' in box office history5. It is still a impressive OD6. My hype for TDKR went to 30% after the shootings and I was the most exited anyone could be for the movie so I am sure it stopped others from seeing it.7. Everyone chill....we really don't need the anger on a already miserable weekend.Dont forget that Warner Bros seems to be doing less promo now on tv and in theaters because of the shooting.

Gideon Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't see what's disrespectful in reporting weekend numbers?Studios can just avoid hyperbols or typical-businessmen dullness.But mehh...You can't tell me there isn't people in WB offices irritated by not writing "records reports" or something about this. So, the "silent operation" suit them well.(harsh things to write, i admit, but business meetings are probably full of this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I originally thought the shooting wouldn't have an effect, but the Friday number clearly proves me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarantino666 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Here you guys are, wondering what went wrong, when Warner Bros. isn't even reporting numbers and Nikki's numbers jumped $7.2 million in less than an hour.Relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Saturday business is good but it needs to be one the best ever to really improve the weekend gross potential . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 "TA's over 12M higher than rest of the group." I think we should just realize TA was the most backloaded epic opener since Spider Man 1. "It also had 3D." Still amoung the biggest easy Definitely, to me Saturday and Sunday numbers are far more impressive than the massive OD for TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 $30m in midnights and $47m for the rest of the day kind of speaks for itself. It's perfectly reasonable. Midnights are bigger (as is the trend with all movies), the post-midnight gross is about the same as TDK. Similar to how the Harry Potters behaved.

Mojoguy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 One problem TDKR will have is that it's really bleak film. It is in no way the escapist, Rocky-esque antidote to this incident that people thought it might be.Yeah.When TDK came out, dark and bleak was the new great thing for comic movies. Now people want light and fun like TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It feels wrong writing this, but this James Holmes psycho just fucked up my most anticipated box office run ever since I started following box office. No offence, just how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) When TDK came out, dark and bleak was the new great thing for comic movies. Now people want light and fun like TA.That makes senseHowever people look at TDK like its a classic these days...So people still like that kind of superhero film.

Fake Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Here is an interesting note"In ticket sales Spider Man 3 and DMC are the biggest films ever on Friday non midnights followed by TA and TDK."TA should be on par with SM3....too close to call a winner.

acsc1312 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It's gonna be hotter than hell around here, and that probably would have boded well for this had all this not happened. People would have been more likely to go inside and enjoy a movie than stay outside in 100+ degree weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 "TA should be on par with SM3....too close to call a winner."Really, thats amazing..You are better at adjusting what is the biggest film on Friday non midnights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravon80 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If people don't turn out for opening weekend as much isn't it safe to say we'll see some very soft drops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my main issue with Marvel as a whole (aside from ASM). Edited July 21, 2012 by acsc1312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
