acsc1312 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I can't wait to actually write a full review tomorrow morning. I think Nolan's films are all totally different genre wise that it's silly to even try to compare them. I do think that this was the grandest he's done and pulled off a ridiculously hard feat with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi all. I have life. Means I missed last 1000 pages. care to recap what happened? Did TDKR tank?Massive shooting is preventing it from having a bigger OW, Baumer disliked it, BKB banned, iJack and reddevil suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 There was no way this movie would live to TDK. I have a feeling I won't like the it very much either.I think it's my favorite of the three, even with its flaws, though I was in the BB camp going in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So the second biggest opening day of all time is a bad ratio? lol...ok.How about there is an insane rush factor to this, just like there was with Twilights.It couldn't beat TDK's day business. It's OD was basically saved by midnights. It's not the greatest start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm not sure about a rating but it definitely ranks third in the trilogy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticProse22 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think it's my favorite of the three, even with its flaws, though I was in the BB camp going in.I'm out of likes, so I'll just say that I completely agree with this opinion, including previously being in the BB camp.

baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 But, this isn't Twilight.It could be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think it's my favorite of the three, even with its flaws, though I was in the BB camp going in.I'm undecided where I stand. I left TDK far more excited, but I feel this is the kind of film that you gain a much deeper appreciation for over time whereas with TDK your appreciation doesn't change much upon repeat viewings.

Captain Craig Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The people making excuses had unreasonably high expectations to begin with. The math had already born out that no 3D, being a darker film etc would keep it from doing $200m. The tragedy is heart wrenching to us all but to use it as a scapegoat for one's unrealistic expectations based on emotion for what you wanted vs logic of what was possible does not help the matter. Heres a quote from a reliable source who agrees with me, since Clone Wars doesn't think my opinion is shared that the tragedy hasn't impacted it's OD. Not to mention Sims thinks your clueless to say otherwise. The idea it was going to curb enough people to enable the film to get it's OW $$$ is proving thus far inaccurate.

acsc1312 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Oh, FFS. 80M OD is NOT disappointing! 180 OW is NOT disappointing. This is a 2D film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer1997 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I missed TA run due to my second kid being born. However...I thought I heard it hit $100 million on OD. Just looked it up, so it barely crossed $80 million? And it looks like TDKR will surpass it without the help of 3D, and some of you are calling it a disappointment?At the end of the day this is a phenomenal performance. I think Baumer is wrong FWIW. I believe the tragedy did stop some people from going today in other parts of the country.It seems like before the movie opened, people were overestimating it, and haters were laughing, and now people are underestimating it, and those who love it are laughing. Reality is somewhere in the middle IMO.I think this will improve its strength throughout the weekend, and I expect tomorrow to be higher than a lot of you think. I also expect Sunday to drop even smaller now. But either way its an incredible performance given what happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't think the shooting really deflated it that much. It couldn't have affect the midnights and the 30m it made was quite disappointing to most people. 50-55m of day business after 30m midnights is a pretty normal ratio for a highly anticipated sequel, if the shooting really had a big effect the day business would be a lot lower.

CJohn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It could be though.I was about to say we don't even know what it is. It may be Twilight/Harry Potter.This isn't Avengers/Hunger Games for sure, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No where in the same league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shooting clearly had an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
