lancer1997 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Hold on Sun is slightly worse than TDK but same general ballpark.Hows business today Rth? Edited July 23, 2012 by lancer1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 On the not so bright side, at least it still made more than TDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 On the not so bright side, at least it still made more than TDK.On the ugly side, THG had the 3rd highest OW of all time when it opened earlier this year as well. Who woulda thunk TDKR would only be able to claim the same title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm in an airport right now and all the TV's have coverage of the shooting. People are crazy if they think this hasn't affected TDKR's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpospoke Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Its not spin, unless you have evidence and more credibility than notfabio and Rth which you don't.I don't have their access, nor their track record, so I defer to their information when they choose to share it. Perhaps you can share with us your credentials for your outright rejection of their comments regarding the audience and performance of TDKR this weekend.I await with baited breath your reply.Unbate your breath. (that must have hurt)I'm going to stand by my statement that the 3rd highest opening weekend of all time could not have occurred with "absolutely no families". Anyone who makes that claim has to take a credibility hit, I'm afraid. Is it possible that claim is yours and they didn't actually say that?

lab276 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 So we're attempting to say that the public was in fear for their lives....but more of them showed up (with their families in many cases) because it was Batman? That doesn't make any sense. If the public was really in fear for their lives....FEWER of them would have left their homes to go see a movie...not more. Doesn't matter what movie was playing. Human nature works both ways. There were no doubt some people who stayed home. But there are also no doubt some people who went to see TDKR because it was being talked about so much. It's not just a one-sided thing. The effect should off-set at least. Ever see people slow down on the highway to see a wreck on the other side? They say "no such thing as bad publicity" for a reason. There are very valid reasons for TDKR to make less than TDK and that should in fact be the "expectation" in my view. This was true before the shooting happened but was overlooked by those wishing for record-breaking performance. Divorce yourself from "defend Batman" mode and it's pretty clear. Two Batman movies: Movie A: 1-Features the Joker. The most popular Batman villain by far. It's not even close. Movies featuring the Joker do better at the box office. 2-Features an amazing performance by the actor playing the Joker. Audiences and critics raved and he was magnetic onscreen. This was known about before the movie was released. 3-Said actor dies tragically before the movie opens which fuels hype, free publicity, and generates morbid curiosity. "His last performance". 4-An RT score in the 90s. Rave reviews in general. Movie B 1-Features Bane. "Little-known" is putting it mildly. "Who?" is the typical reaction from the public. Catwoman helps...but Batman Returns also featured Catwoman and that didn't help the box office. 2-Little to no advance raves about the actor playing Bane. 3-No tragic death to fuel hype, generate free publicity or morbid curiosity. 4-An RT score in the mid-80s. Less impressive reviews. Which one would you guess would gross more at the box office? Why would anyone think Movie B would gross more? That would be a fool's bet. People showed up because it was Batman, but less of them showed up because of the shooting. Your point about Heath Leger makes no sense when you look at the Australian opening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think most of us can agree that the shootings had some effect on the OW but that many of us overestimated how well TDKR would do in the absence of the violence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who makes that claim has to take a credibility hit, I'm afraid. Is it possible that claim is yours and they didn't actually say that? Your credentials sir. I was pretty clear. Regarding families, the family crowd has stayed away. I cannot wait to hear your resume and qualifications, along with examples of your opinions being validated literally hundreds of times like these two folks. You must be pretty qualified given your bravado. http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=193352 family biz is definitely sharply impacted today crowd is mostly college age and above so yes the aurora impact on attend is real {nm} http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=193353 imax is still doing more than fine but that core audience is that age and not families {nm} 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holcs Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yea the numbers r way lower than I expected.... But the real good news is the movie was Awesome! That's all I ever wanted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Highest 2D OW of all time with no family audience. I can't believe that we have so many retarded posters here, who think the shooting didn't have a huge impact. Moreso it's sad that people are trying to quantify it to number. I will report everyone and make the persons life hell, who claims that it's a disappointing number. Why can't we be all human and put the normal conversations and comparisons aside after a clearly unusual weekend? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 According to people on some other sites, the 160m is excellent and if you expected more you're just a crazy fanboy with unrealistic expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
