Elessar Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 except then the movies dropped due to TDK, this timeit's the same, the movies dropped primarily due to TDKR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 So we're now looking at 163m? Even BKB didn't have it that low. What a write-off of a weekend. And I don't see the drops being that great either. It's a bleak film to begin with, and subconsciously or not the depressing association will always be there.

AniNate Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Why is it being so slow? I thought all those long topics being archived was suppose to speed this place up? I'm guessing the culprit is an internal thing here. It's very sporadic, which makes it all the more annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm just hoping that the people who decided to skip out on Batman this weekend, will at least watch it in theaters next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hmm... $163M OW is pretty bad, not much above TDK.But no 3D meant it was always hard to smash past DH2, Avengers...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm just hoping that the people who decided to skip out on Batman this weekend, will at least watch it in theaters next week.I feel many of them will wait for a DVD / Blu-Ray release.

Lumos Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) If I see one more comment talking about what this film would have made if the shooting never occured, i'm going to puke. Why are you guys so obsessed about it? The tragedy took place, that's just a fact, so get over it and move on. If people really wanted to see this film OW they would have seen it. Any rationale person would know that their odds of dying while going to the movies these days are pretty slim.Do I think the shooting effected the box office? Yes. Was its impact that noteworthy.....nobody can know for sure. Its midnight gross certainly wasn't indicative of anything record breaking. The shooting likely effected the film by like 6-7% at most - mostly paranoid mothers who are disturbed from what they hear on the news were scared away....otherwise it was business as usual.But of course there has to be this big debate. It was tracking north of 180M....it was the most anticipated film since TPM....2012 has been breaking tonns of records...how could this sell less tickets than TDK...blah blah vlah Well guess what! Tracking can be wrong sometimes, the anticipation was huge but it was huge for other films too like DH2 and Spiderman 3, and TDK is the most attended OW of all time....why would coming up like 5% below that be dissapointing?Maybe you Nolan/Batman fans should just admit that you guys got a little too excited and just had really lousy preedictions instead of blaming it on a shooting, that most likely effected the box office by like 10%....at the very most.Anyways.....that's what I think.

darthdevidem01 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Well, I disagree with that. It's performance in the UK and Australia definitely cut through what you said.Exactly...they put a spanner in the whole "It was destined to never open or do better than TDK" theory for me anyway.

Elessar Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Well, I disagree with that. It's performance in the UK and Australia definitely cut through what you said.OS markets are different. TDK was already big in some markets (mainly english speaking) but nothing like in the USA where it broke records. It wouldn't be the first movie that grows in OS markets but shrinks domestically.

And it's either matching or doing slightly better than TA in both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be the first movie that grows in OS markets but shrinks domestically.But the UK, US and Australia markets have very similar tastes (especially UK-US) so the film should have lived up to its high tracking based on these OS market's performance.

We don't live in a parallel world, in the real world the tragedy happened, that's all.All theories about numbers without the tragedy are a pure waste of time.I'm disappointed but don't waste your time like this guys, it's stupid.

So no. Everything you said is not right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
