rockNrollaDIM Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 A 25% average drop in attendance post-midnights (from TDK) means that the media's sensationalism and talking down to people was effective one more time. I'm not saying that they wanted this result, it just seems to be the only way they know how to cover stories. And it's depressing and terrible.Yep.. I can't believe that post-midnight Friday number. Less than 50m... who would have ever thought...Movie-going audience needs to grow up. It isn't respectful, somber etc etc to sit the movie out. Going to see it would actually be a tribute to the victims, if that's what they are aiming for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Here's my semi rant:This tragedy has affected the opening weekend numbers, I believe that and have never denied it. The thing I don't buy into is that it is the only reason for the "soft numbers". This event is disgusting, despicable and horrific. Yes, it is is keeping people home.But to all of you saying that it is the only reason, is that really fair? There are about a dozen or more examples of films that have faltered on their third film. I realize the opening weekend should be where it excels, but the Joker/Heath effect cannot be over looked. Isn't that fair to say?There are numerous factors to this, the shooting is definitely one, but not the only one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviefanatic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Haters: family biz is definitely sharply impacted today crowd is mostly college age and above so yes the aurora impact on attend is real {nm} notfabio on Jul 21, 16:10 We can now put to rest that there was no effect from the tragedy. And it sounds as though it had a MAJOR effect. Thank you. I have been saying the family audience would hold off since the news broke but I also think it has gone beyond that demo. I've seen tweets of people saying their parents won't let them go for now. These people look like high school kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems that the tragedy is giving some people both the ammunition needed to completely overlook the possible existence of other factors and the right to declare their opinion as the only valid one...after all, what kind of heartless monster would argue against such emotional reasoning?

John Marston Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) It's just a fanboy excuse as to why it didn't make more.Oh really? This movie might not even reach 160m. That's how much it was always going to make? Bullshit!The fact is, even on opening day alone this movie was doing weak. It only made 46m outside of the midnights. That is just not good, no matter how you spin it Edited July 21, 2012 by John Marston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) What kind of universe are we living in where TDKR gets beat by THG in every day except midnights? If it really comes in 40-43m for Saturday then THG absolutely spanked it on SAT.THG is my baby but that's just ridiculous. Crazy talk. Before 24 hours ago you'd be institutionalized for the notion of it. Edited July 21, 2012 by The aDIM Legacy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 People that don't believe the shooting had a big effect are just trolling at this point.As Baumer said, there may be another reasons, but the shooting had a big effect. There is no denial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tragedy is having a bigger impact than what you seem to feel, but I think it's pretty apparent that this would have struggled to 180 - 185ish without the tragedy. It's obvious the 200 m ow was never in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer1997 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) That is for today, not yesterday.Did I miss something or is today Saturday? Of COURSE it's for today.Sheesh.The other thing is, I think this is leg clipping too. I think by the time people decide they want to see the movie who skipped it, it won't be in enough theaters and screens to make a serious impact. What's done is done.People on both sides are ridiculous but truthfully anyone gloating about the lack of success is pretty shallow. We now know for certain why the film is truly being killed. GRanted it was over hyped, we know that too, but in the wake of 14 dead, and 71 shot, we shouldn't be gloating about people making predictive failures.You who do, are like people who said the Titanic couldn't cross the Atlantic in 7 days, and then gloated when it didn't meet the deadline. GMAFB. Show some class. You may only have been right BECAUSE of the tragedy. We'll never know. Edited July 21, 2012 by lancer1997 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 :wub: :wub: Thank you!Okay cool, but try to be more careful next times.Everybody who has seen the movie is making an effort to not spoil anything, even little hints you 'd think are not important.I overreacted and I will watch Batman and Robin in Korean without subtitles for my sin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
