Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) "I'd take something like BB/TDK/TDKR with an actual backstory over a "fun" and light SH film like TA. That's my main issue with Marvel as a whole (aside from ASM)."Yeah the thing is I agree but only if the film works that way....I think with ASM it did not work out well.TA did not pretend to be a storyline based movie.Such a complete opposite from ASM or TDKR marketing.The whole focus was on the last act of the film.The film promised action and seeing your heros fighting together and thats what you got.http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrV-5rxkOIY Edited July 21, 2012 by Lordmandeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Only here would Even Baumer's saying $455m.Only here would people be disappointed in a film that would make that much money. Yada yada expectations, but if that were to happen that's still a great number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdevidem01 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My opinion too.OW record went from BatmanReturns directly to BatmanForever.Another situation where that record stayed directly in the same franchise?Surely Empire Strikes Back to Return Of The Jedi?

acsc1312 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So would I actually. It's just more satisfying.The last 30 minutes or so of TA was great, but I walked out thinking "Ok, but was it worth my time?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think they should have tied in with TDK more.True or not?The Joker isn't even spoke about once?Like...everyone forgot about him or since he's not in the story, he doesn't exist anymore?

But after 8 years that's not too much of a stretch. There's never a point where you think 'why aren't they talking about him?!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My opinion too.OW record went from BatmanReturns directly to BatmanForever.Another situation where that record stayed directly in the same franchise?I can't even imagine any other film take the record in the near future. At least not in 2013/2014.And TA2 should be the first mega-blockbuster in 2015. So the record will stay with Avengers. They are an unbeatable team!

darthdevidem01 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 "I know that feel bro.Still can't believe how epic its OW was & then everything shattered...such a shame."Yeah, thats why I liked TA opening weekend so much.Great opening and a great film.Avengers opening weekend was really awesome. I'll remember it for years to come...just positivity everywhere & a good film too!!Even THG opening weekend was like that..except "Not a record" LOL.

jb007 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 $170 ow.....excellent i don't think the attacks took $37m of business away. it would have been closer though and TDKR would have the admissions record. I don't think so. Given the massive hype that included issuance of tickets one month prior to release, I would say 30.6M Midnight number in the third of July was underwhelming and that was before the massacre. So no point in spinning that number. TDKR was never going to set records. Heath Ledger is not here to help the movie out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Its just sad I wanted to see epic numbers from TDKR as well...I still think it could go to 500 million but TDK admissions is dead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Also I agree if TDKR was going to destroy all records, the midnights were going to have to be bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wileECoyote 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.Just my 2 cents: TDK and TDKR (have not seen yet) are supposed to be more gritty and harsh movies. And while Nolan is masterful at making movies with such an atmosphere, it's not a movie that some in the GA would put on their to watch list despite any WOM. It was still going to be the mega-blockbuster because it was the last of the trilogy and the most hyped summer movie of 2012. But when the reviews started coming in, the first thing that came to mind was this movie is not to the level of TDKR. Also, with all the other stuff going on in the world. the drought, Syria, debt crisis, etc.. I think people want something more uplifting now or at least an escape, and are tired of feeling down. And now with the tragedy in Colorado...I think another mistake we made is this...We thought if a film like TA could set the record, a film like TDKR was going to own it as its Batman!I'm guessing that was the general feeling around here. I'm still pretty new here but I think that most people predicted that if any movie was to break the 200M barrier first it was supposed TDKR and when TA came out, TDKR would easily follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle17 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Craig Ferguson changed his opening and cut out the show's monologue for last nights show. Take a look.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvY_QbxvoLA&feature=player_embedded 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
