riczhang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This incident has been a field day for the media...massacre by a seemingly intelligent individual at a highly anticipated event. It's exploitative journalism at the finest...news networks only dream about stories this enticing. They'll make it into a circus as long as possible.It practically makes the yellow journalism in Citizen Kane look tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This reminds me of the speech in the King's Speech. Then you got the reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Is this Toronto? Because Vancouver is looking par if not down a tiny bit from yesterday.Well the shows during the day were busier then Yesterday but its no TA.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can you imagine if BKB were here? This place is SO much better without him. It's a shame he wasn't permanently banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer1997 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think RTHs latest update shows a few things.#1- The effect of the shooting may have an effect, but it appears to be a pretty minor one#2- TDKR is simply underperforming expectations#3- Heath Ledger's death had not as much impact on TDKs gross as haters would have us believe#4- People simply overestimated TDKRs capabalitiesI certainly got burnt by #4. I way overpredicted for the film, thinking $210m. I thought we'd even see a ridiculous hold (strong increase minus midnights from Fri to offset lost business from the tragedy etc), but I don't think that's really the case any more.Finally, I find none of this important this weekend. What a messed up weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 How was mike?Fun. Tatum's a real movie star. The head of WB's daughter stars in it, though, and she's a truly terrible actress. Kristen Stewart has more range than her. Though this teenager in the row behind me kept saying "Oh.. em... gee" every time anyone showed any skin. Which were a lot of times. That was annoying.

riczhang Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well the shows during the day were busier then Yesterday but its no TA....Definitely no TA, the Scotiabank Vancouver had every single Saturday show sold out by noon for TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 B&R was my most-watched live action movie as a kid other than the Star Wars trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hmmm this isn't sounding great.Can it even reach 45m today? Can't believe I'm saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well the shows during the day were busier then Yesterday but its no TA....TDKR probably wasn't going to be as huge with family crowds anyway, regardless of the shooting. Still, if there is one theater going demographic that would be depressed because of it, then it would be the family crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Had no idea it was intended, but God that scene was intense. That scene was a particular highlight in a brilliant movie. I have seen the movie 4 times and it's always great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I understand the "No Numbers" for the weekend approach. WB and other studios don't want to focus on money when there is this huge of a tradegy.But by monday, it will be good to focus on money, right?

Lordmandeep Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 "Definitely no TA, the Scotiabank Vancouver had every single Saturday show sold out by noon for TA."Saturday was by far the busiest day I can ever recall in the box office here in Canada.Only thing close was Spider Man 3 Saturday...

That was annoying. that happened with my showing too, we had 2 teenage girls in the row behind us, who were giving an audio commentary on the whole movie. And then at the end they said, "Oh, it's actually a real movie? With a story?" It was seriously like WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 #1- The effect of the shooting may have an effect, but it appears to be a pretty minor oneI think it's an indisputably major effect that will cast a veil over TDKR's entire run. Plenty of curious potential viewers may not bother to show up at all now. But like you I can't bring myself to care about its box office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a messed up weekend.It wouldn't be underperforming expectations if they were kept in check to begin with. A lot of people failed to see the ceiling of a Batman movie without the Joker or 3D. I would debate your third point but that's a moot argument at this juncture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Watch this if you want to piss your pants laughing. A hilarious prank by a couple who pretend to be blind while drinking champagne and eating chocolate strawberries.
