Moviefanatic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I am about to catch 745pm show and this theater is NOT Full.

cheesypoofs Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 so I'll say again, Dark Knight Rises was going to perform like a Twilight movie from the very beginning?What? I've never even brought up Twilight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 .I overreacted and I will watch Batman and Robin in Korean without subtitles for my sin.What? You are going to watch the only watchable version (unless you are Korean and understand that ugh dialog) of B&R to atrone for your sin? That`s a perk not punishment.

MrPink Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) And I have no problem with people disagreeing with me. We are all entitled to our opinions. I could be wrong, maybe it is having a bigger effect than I think it is. But I do believe unequivocally that the film was massively over predicted because of TA's success. And I will stand by that no matter what.I think Noggin is on the money though. 180-185m was not far from the average prediction prior to the Avenger's release and the midnights seem to correlate to that number. The midnights did indicate though that 190 was the limit and 200 was never in play even though many bought into the hype days before release.

nAlkaline Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It will fly by 160, and how exactly is 46M outside of the midnight numbers not good? Seriously, I want to know how that is not good. That's a fantastic number. Fanboys were just so bent on this beating The Avengers, or getting 100M OD that anything below is disappointing. Which is sad, because it was never going to do that.Have all the likes. You deserve them. This point cannot be stated enough in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesypoofs Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I would give it about 10M at the most. I thought 175M or so was the target, and anything over that would have been tremendous. Of course, I also thought that TDK's OW was a bit inflated from a few factors, so this explains my dampened enthusiasm in comparison to some of the 200M OW predictions. It's unfortunate from a purely quantitative perspective that we'll never know now.Yeah, all of the fanboys were just so bent on this beating The Avengers and doing 100M OD/200M OW, and that was never going to happen anyway.

Elessar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Did I miss something or is today Saturday? Of COURSE it's for today.Sheesh.It's just that the arguments were mostly about friday since that's the only number we have atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm56 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Glad the fishnets stuff died down....that wasn't even a spoiler.I can't believe people thought this would get to anywhere near 200 mil OW even without the shooting. Not very family friendly...no 3D...bloated running time (I know plenty of people that think 245 mins is just ridiculous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It will fly by 160, and how exactly is 46M outside of the midnight numbers not good? Seriously, I want to know how that is not good. That's a fantastic number. Fanboys were just so bent on this beating The Avengers, or getting 100M OD that anything below is disappointing. Which is sad, because it was never going to do that.160m is also way less than Spider-Man 3 when adjusted. Really all you saying that numbers like 150-160m are the numbers it was always going to make and only fanboys really though it would be higher are really ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 so I'll say again, Dark Knight Rises was going to perform like a Twilight movie from the very beginning? I'll say it again, New Moon bested TDK's OD only a year later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold part is very very true. After TA opened, some posters TDKR predicts shot up big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) I think if people accept the shooting had an effect (and with these numbers it's hard to believe otherwise) then it's enough to just put a mental * next to whatever the OW number it ends up as and see out it fares from here on out. This has been an unprecedented opening for all the wrong reasons. Edited July 21, 2012 by Hatebox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
