Adm56 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Right. I am sure TDKR made a little less then double Avengers mdinights because it is not a "fun" movie.The Avengers didn't have TDK as a lead in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nAlkaline Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It burnt off 30.6M in demand at midnight. Some people are underwhelmed with that number, but it's absolutely huge, and definitely took pressure off matinees and evening showings.I really like this point. I feel that many people are just brushing aside the enormity of the midnight number, especially in comparison to its predecessor, and the demand it inevitably burned off.

RthDeadWov Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Boy what a last 20+ hours, last night to tied up watch news events unfold,had read quite a few commentes here and been in/out, plus with last night there was really no update on midnight number from what it mentioned hours beforee.I'll take a look at look at TDKR again shortly.With WB at this stage planning to not put anything out till monday, if they wanted to they could very easily block anyone from seeing TDKR numbers till monday, probably won't happen but it could. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Best news could be like TA opening day was seen around 65-70 and RTH said 80 million.However indications are way below past films on Friday in my area.At my theatre it did ~86K today, TA did about ~105-110K. (This is excluding Midnights, but TA had 8 3D shows, 5 on 1 screen, and the other 3 on a half screen.) Edited July 21, 2012 by riczhang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are underwhelmed with that number, but it's absolutely huge, and definitely took pressure off matinees and evening showings.Yep, 30 mil was nothing to scoff at, not even close, especially not for any movie that isnt Twilight or Potter. TDKR midnights beat the previous comic book movie midnights by over 12 million, and without the benefit of 3D. That's pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nAlkaline Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Here you go guys, an article titled Is The Dark Knight Rises Too Tough to Watch Post-Colorado Tragedy? http://www.eonline.c...imdb_topstories And if you notice, the overwhelming majority of comments are eviscerating the article as exploitative journalism and indicating the shootings will not alter their plans to see the movie in any way. The media's job is to create stories, and this Batman connection is salivating for them. Disgusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do warn though about the spoilers ahead of time and give warning. I didn't think though when I posted that. I was trying to show how news sources feel that this can affect moviegoers from going to the film this weekend.
