MovieMan89 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Guys, watch a movie this weekend please.I went to see Beasts of the Southern Wild this weekend downtown at the theater that usually gets those indie movies. Really enjoyed it. I will say though that I noticed that the theater was only about 2/3 full and that theater is usually packed on weekends. Coulda just been cause it was an earlier showing though...

John Marston Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I hear Dark Knight Rises is opening on par with Avengers in the UK and Australia. And these are developed markets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 People can also use the 'Sony also had MIB3 tracking at 90M over Memorial Day Weekend' argument.But that weekend did not have notfabio stating the effect of tragedy at his theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 My theatre has officially made more money today than yesterday. Yesterday it took in ~86 400, and today with some evening shows still left already at ~88 200, might break ~92 500 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I watched TDKR here and lines were long. The overseas reports say that it opened bigger, way bigger than TDK. I think 550 M overseas is locked. This needs to get a China release though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And these are developed marketsIf that translates into the domestic market, then TDKR is opening right where it's expected to: around 170m which is close to The Avengers minus the 3D up-charge..

I've still got a grin on my face after seeing TDKR and now I really want it to rebound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 "I hear Dark Knight Rises is opening on par with Avengers in the UK and Australia. And these are developed markets"I do not think you can simply imply that would mean it would have broken the record in NA...As TA simply increased a lot from past marvel films in overseas markets...TA is a totally different beast in NA.It broke records and became one of the biggest hits.

Hatebox Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not getting a China release because of this would be absurd. Although the news was big in the UK, it had no effect whatsoever on attendence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Business at both major theaters here (Aventura and Regal) are better than yesterday by about 25 percent, so that's a good sign, at least in the South Florida Market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Word of mouth: That will drop like a rock in the coming days/weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if this one eventually ends up out of the top 250, even on Nolan's playground (IMDB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 That is high but every film falls from IMDB and IMDB is Nolans fanbase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The one thing I will say, that hopefully most everyone can agree on is that this should have matched TDK in admissions. That was a reasonable expectation. Forget the $200M talk, but there is no reason to say this doesn't have an affect when it can't even match TDK attendance. Especially with the hype this had coming off of not just TDK but Inception as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
