baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Baumer, I had TDKR doing less than 100m OD and less than $200m OW, but I think your being a little unrealistic to suggest that the shootings, extra security measures, and the pulled advertising to have no effect on its gross. Nobody knows how much it impacted the gross, but it definitely had some impact. Fine, I never said it didn't have some effect. I said not much. 10 mill? Sure. But 35-40 mill? Sorry, no way.

CJohn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The Saturday number will be ridiculous. Sunday may not be over 30M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Of course, not saying there wont be any midnight showings anymore, but no HUGE midnight ? Probably.BD2 will do 30 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Sure, me, personally yes, if it WAS BY MY HOUSE. If someone gets shot and killed in Aurora Colorado, I'm not taking any precautions near my house.People are currently taking these measures, near Aurora or not. They might have cancelled their plans to show respect to those who died or are just still scared that copycats might follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmscholar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 165-170 OW? SMH @ some of you downplaying the Shooting like it wasn't going to have an effect. The shooting was clearly going to affect it's opening weekend. Before the Shooting 185-195 was the range. People stayed home, people were paranoid. People changed their schedules. This is the worst tradegy EVER that a Blockbuster had to endure and it's still going to do over 165 without 3D. So "Disappointing"? Don't think so cause this Tradegy has clearly overshowed the movie. I still think you guys should go see it, it's a really good film and closed out a comicbook Trilogy better than any of it's predessors. As I said in my review, there are flaws but the good outweight the bad where as other comic part III's the Bad was Really Bad. Again I know a lot of people will be saying how low and disappointing this number is but some people just don't want to admit the shooting has clearly got into the consiousness of movie goers in America and I felt and predicted this would happen when I 1st heard the news. I'm sorry and sad for the Victims and I'm sad for Nolan and Crew to have this ruin what would of been a great movie experience for so many people. Even people that see the film and like it, in the back of their minds they will be talking about or thinking about what happen in Colorado. Overall again I was very pleased and reguardless of Box Office, Nolan gave me what a truely wanted. A satisfator conlcusion to a comic book trilogy. Something, Superman, Ninja Turles, The original Batman series, Blade, X-men and Spidey could not do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm not making anything up. Just because there isn't a readily available link for something doesn't mean it didn't happen.I'm telling you. You got facts mixed up. There was no shooting in 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Fine, I never said it didn't have some effect. I said not much. 10 mill? Sure. But 35-40 mill? Sorry, no way.I say 10-15M effect. It would have done 80-85M without the shooting. Seems right, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 77.2m. Much better.But still much lower than it should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixiesvision Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Sure, me, personally yes, if it WAS BY MY HOUSE. If someone gets shot and killed in Aurora Colorado, I'm not taking any precautions near my house.But you said yourself that killing and massacres happen all the time. By that logic, people might think the same, but spin it into a negative scenario. Instead of thinking, "well, it happens all the time, why should I be scared?" they might think, "well it happens all the time, what if it happens to me in a crowded theater today?" I know the people I've spoken to, and the social media sites I follow, there were quite a few people who changed plans because of the shooting.
