darthdevidem01 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think WB can help with the healing by sending the entire TDKR team to Aurora. This would definitely help the families deal with the massacre.Wouldn't the families of the deceased be wanting to just forget about the damn film right now? It would be a good gesture but it would do nothing but just bring back memories for the families now. Mayabe they can come whena memorial or something is built...but even then...it's a tricky situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 What if the WOM just isn't that solid and people stay away because of that?It's a heavy movie, almost anti-escapist in its way, and probably has the strangest structure of any superhero film ever. But people seem to like it if social media is anything to go by.I actually have no idea what legs will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb007 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) What if the WOM just isn't that solid and people stay away because of that?My wife and I thought the movie was average at best. Most of the people we know have complained about its pacing and poor staging of action. One of the common complaints I heard from my friends was that while the scale of the action is huge, but the action itself was not very exciting.

Mojoguy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I know it's a long shot, but there's still the Hobbit.I don't see the Hobbit making 500M. There doesn't seem to be much hype for it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieGuyKyle17 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/07/21/dark-knight-rises-no-box-office-today/ In light of the tragic shootings in Aurora, Colo., Hollywood has followed Warner Brothers’ lead and will not be reporting box office numbers today. It is unclear which studios will release weekend grosses tomorrow, though EW has confirmed that at least one of the major ones has plans to do so. Late on Friday, Warner Brothers released this statement: “Out of respect for the victims and their families, Warner Bros. Pictures will not be reporting box office numbers for The Dark Knight Rises throughout the weekend. Box office numbers will be released on Monday.†This morning a rep for Disney said, “Disney will not be reporting box office data at this time in light of the tragedy in Colorado.†A rep for Sony had a similar message: “We’re joining our colleagues at Warner Bros. and not reporting grosses during this period of mourning.†Going into the weekend, all eyes were on The Dark Knight Rises, which was set to challengeThe Avengers‘ box office record. Now official numbers for the film, which earned an “A†CinemaScore grade, will have to wait until Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where this mediocre WOM story is coming from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I know it's a long shot, but there's still the Hobbit.Big fan here but won't happen.Over 400M would already be a big party for fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmscholar Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 WB should start a Memorial fund for the Victims or give a portion of the proceeds from the movie to the victims it will go a long way and I think that's the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted fantastic hand to hand combat sequences, I would go re watch any one of he three Bourne movies.
