riczhang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 AThanks, so its initial WOM at least is on par with TDK. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nAlkaline Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 There is no other reason. A superhero film that made 30m midnights should be doing gangbusters this weekend. Not the case. Great WOM, got an "A" Cinemascore, etc. Everything was going the films way until this happened.This is true...IF you consider that the film should have achieved some of the 200M+ numbers being thrown around pre-release. Some people just think that the film was heavily over-predicted before it came out, and the shooting compounded its misery, in addition to some other factors associated with TDK.

Gopher Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I guess I wasn't wrong when I said ASM had to make as much money possible before July 20th. :blink:I can't help but think that this event severely hits midnight screenings for a while. I imagine a lot of parents too concerned for their daughters' safety to let them see BD2 at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoZodiac Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can someone please give me a very quick update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) We have notfabio's report that this is 'nowhere near DH2's business'.We also had notfabio's report that it only did marginally better on midnights than TA (about 3500 vs 3300) but actually it destroyed TA's midnights.

Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Opening day of 77 million.Saturday business pointing to around 40-50 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Families are the biggest deterrent to the films day business. Obviously parents are worried to bring their kids to see this in light of what happened and so the matinee business in result take a HUGE hit. The night business which is primarily the teens and young adults are the primary fan base and are going to see it regardless so it helps save some face but the day business is what helped films like SM1, SM3, and TA achieve their record breaking Saturdays.Staying flat from Friday will be a win IMO.

Ozymandias Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Anyone who claims that the shootings have had little to no impact on TDKR's BO this weekend are blowing smoke up their ass. Plain and simple.No one is saying that the shooting didn't have an impact at all, its just that amusing Nolanites are in shock and blaming IT ALL on the shooting and ignoring some facts like no Joker, no dead celebrity hype, and a film that isn't on par with TDK(from pretty much everything I've read, incudling most critic reviews).TDKR will crawl past 400m, best case secnario.

nAlkaline Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can someone please give me a very quick update?OD somewhere between 77.2-low 80s. Doom and gloom about film's prospects based on a few extrapolations of lower-than-DH2 business on Saturday. The shooting does appear to be stifling the business a bit. I would just wait until Monday for concrete numbers rather than mass hysteria and conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 TDKR's sat. is going to surpass DH2's sat. by 5pm PST, and is looking actually for a small increase today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks, so its initial WOM at least is on par with TDK. Not bad.My theater erupted with cheers at the end. The WOM is great, I hope this can get good legs to recover from what has happened this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I got back to my parents' house this afternoon and my dad was watching CNN. Still heavily covering this story. Yesterday I heard old ladies at work talking about it and they referenced the film in a negative light. They never had any interest in seeing the movie, but now they're talking about it for the wrong reason. Imagine how this is going with casual audiences who were interested in possibly watching it. As I said, the film got nuked.People living outside USA have no idea the coverage it's getting with news channels. (24/7) At this point, it wouldn't shock me if it misses TDK or even SM3 OW and then people will realize the effects the shooting had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 From HSX- "Just thought you guys might want some BATM3 Comparisons from my theater today. BATM3 Down 25% from AVG opening Day, Down 10% from Harry, up 2% from TWIGH. BATM3 Sat Mat Down 48% from AVNG, Down 47% From Harry, Down 40% from TIWGH." Batman is screwed.

Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 yeah Spider Man 1 and 3 and TA easily had the biggest day business ever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) When the number comes in at 39-40M, you'll still say shooting had minimal to no effect. I said if it misses $40m i'll concede that it had a big effect and i mean it. Edited July 21, 2012 by Elessar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
