Chewy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 http://www.tmz.com/2012/07/20/james-holmes-colorado-shooting-joker/Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes was sporting red hair and told people he was "The Joker" when he was apprehended by police Friday morning ... this according to NY Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.During a news conference this afternoon, Kelly said, "We have some information, most of it is public. It clearly looks like a deranged individual. He had his hair painted red, he said he was ‘The Joker,’ obviously the enemy of Batman."ABC News is reporting Holmes made the Joker remark to police, not during the shooting.It's likely Kelly obtained the information from Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates -- according to reports, the two are good friends. In fact, Oates was a member of the NYPD for 21 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 don't think it will be affected. People will have forgotten about it by the end of the day People only really care about these things if it is affecting them or someone they know. Harsh, but true. It will only affect business in Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omario Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 i'll stick with 183.6mil. hoping it gets above 190mil but with this tragedy it could dip to the 170's if people have decided to stay home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utesfanami Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Not that Batman inspired it. That hundreds of people came to the movies to see THEM on screen, and they got attacked and/or killed because of it.They didn't get killed because of Batman, they got killed because of a sociopath! The cast and crew shouldn't feel the least bit guilty, though like everyone else, I'd suspect they are sad.This murderer would've killed people whether it was at DKR, the Park, the Zoo, wherever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only affect business in ColoradoIt's not that people forget it, no one will forget this for a while. But it's just another random act of violence and these things happen all the time. This is just more publicized because it happened while at a movie theater. People are shot and killed everyday in the US, and everywhere for that matter.

The Dark Alfred Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I expected more sanity from this board. Any suggestion to put guilt on the cast and crew or suggesting any responsibilty towards the film is just ridiculous, crazy talk. Why would you try to find a sane reason for a clearly insane act? Going by that theory you can call basically every rapper a murdered. Come on. We need people to go the cinemas now more than ever. It's not just about TDKR. If you ask me the film that will probably suffer most is Ice Age. Edited July 20, 2012 by The Dark Alfred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Based on my nearly full IMAX showing at 11:20 this morning, I don't think grosses will be affected significantly. Edited July 20, 2012 by Jay Beezy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublejack Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 No, but this will be much much more frontloaded. Avengers and TDK were complete anomalies. Films with this much of a rush and this big of an opening can drop 60%. 65% is not unheard of.THG is another one. 61.6% second weekend drop for THG, and while it topped 400M and had an impressive run, it only managed a 2.65 multi so far.TDKR will fall somewhere in the spectrum between DH2/Twilight and TA/TDK. Where and what kind of run will be apparent based on the second weekend I believe. From the midnights it is looking quite frontloaded however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 People use whatever they want to justify their heinous crimes... movies video games, religion, children's cartoons.
