ravon80 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Wow, as box office fans this is a sad stretch for us.TDKR was definitely one of the most anticipated box office opening weekends and runs for us. Now we'll never really know what it was capable of doing.Hopefully we'll see the numbers translate into ridiculously strong legs.I just hope mindful people here don't brand the movie's opening a disappointment. We all know why it suffered.I mean, it is disappointing, but it couldn't be helped either. Edited July 22, 2012 by ravon80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Out of all the movies so far, I would say Bane has been the 3rd best villain, behind Ledger's and Nicholson's Jokers.I would put him on par with Jack but behind Heath. However, this film succeeded in making me care about Bruce while the other two were the Joker show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this film succeeded in making me care about Bruce while the other two were the Joker show.Not sure if I would put him up with Jack, even if I had been able to understand all his lines. I think being Talia's puppet diminished him somewhat. Turned from the Big Bad into a flunky. Edited July 22, 2012 by Orestes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Bane was second only to Heath's Joker until the big reveal. Then he tumbled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Bane was second only to Heath's Joker until the big reveal. Then he tumbled.Huh. I don't think that at all -- if anything, it gave him more texture. IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Here in Canada the film did bad on Friday and did better business on Saturday and Sunday is solid.In Comparison TA was pretty much at least flat on all three days or way on Saturday at all theaters.

Gopher Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The shooting is the only inarguable deterrent to its box office this weekend. Even if just a million people decided not to see the movie because of the shooting that's still ten million dollars. Trailers and even lack of Joker are completely arguable. Given the YouTube views (23m+ for trailer 2 and trailer 3 each) I don't think many found the trailers underwhelming at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Huh. I don't think that at all -- if anything, it gave him more texture. IMO. I thought it made him irrelevant. His death is a complete non-event for all he did for the duration of the movie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 This might be a spoiler so Bane was so strong in the beginning, he even went all Darth Vader on us and killed a man by strangling him with one hand and lifting him off the ground. Then he gets all wimpy and can't beat Batman in a fight. Did his steroids run out? Not enough protein in the city to keep his muscles strong? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Personally I'm still on board for a 60-62% drop second weekend. The wOM for this is good, but not TDKR like. And even the good WOM still cannot overcome the fact that this may be a great movie, but it is dark and depressing and bleak. That, to me, does not seem like something that people will want to rush back to see again. Maybe I'm wrong, but at this point, I think this is logical.I agree with that drop. Not because of WOM, but going by statistical trends alone.Previously I had it dropping over 65% for a weekend around 60M. But now since the OW was deflated, and it would start making up for it next weekend, I am expecting a 2nd weekend of 63-65m for around 60% drop.

redfirebird2008 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Huh. I don't think that at all -- if anything, it gave him more texture. IMO.Completely agree. They humanized him, which is a good contrast to the pure evil of Ledger's Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 this weekend is sort of boring.Next weekend will be more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) I loved how they used Bane's physical strength. The hand to hand combat with Batman with the silence was phenomenally shot. He was a total badass. Both times I sat there in shock at just how intense that was. Utter silence in the audience both times.

John Marston Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 the WOM for this film seems nothing but positive. I can't tell you how many people I have seen that have said it was great and there was applause at the end and some teared up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
