Lordmandeep Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I think TDKR will be seen between BB and TDK...That is the early word I am getting from friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Spider Man likley will do much better in May it appearersIf it had the same date as the AVengers it would have done 275+ million. Edited July 22, 2012 by Lordmandeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 My theater applauded three times -- when Gordon used the flare to light up the flaming Bat-symbol, when Batman told Bane "you have my permission to die", and at the end. And like I there, there were cheers when Selina took out Bane. The people I know, Facebook friends, etc -- all rave. The weakest response was from my wife, who liked it but felt it could've been shorter (in general, she thinks the Nolan Bat films are good but she doesn't geek out about them).

Samson Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yep, 30 mill is great, no question, but that's less tickets than all of the Twilights that did it and less than DH2. Still great, but not a record.Goes to show that women are a far greater "first see" crowd than any comic book / star wars men in their tents and week long lines.

Punishment Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Punishment, TDK received an "A" and so did BB.I thought it did to, but the only thing I was able to find on the internet reference an A- ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yea and I wish they would stop saying he had a "mental illness". That is BS. If this murderer was middle eastern they would call him a terrorist. If he was black they would label him a thug. White on the other hand means he is "mentally unstable". That's America for you.Agreed. At one point, news sources were actually saying that the suspect was supposedly 'an Indian guy' or 'an Asian Muslim'. It's like all terrorists are mid-eastern Muslims.

Samson Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 This weekend... is not for me. I feel depressed. Your posts have been the most depressing of them all, LOL. Take it eassssy. This is still a MAJOR weekend, no matter what some flippant posters will say otherwise. Without Hunger Games & Avengers this year, this board would be rabid with posts right now. Expectations are funny around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I don't know why Sony thought it was a good idea to release spider-man so close to Batman.Funny to think that Star Trek 2 was going to be added into the mix at one point too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrylos 7 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I don't know why Sony thought it was a good idea to release spider-man so close to Batman.The problem is the quality of the new spider man movie and the toxic WOM it produced. A great spider man movie had nothing to fear from any film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 People are saying TDKR disappointed opening weekend simply because there was not as much interest in the movie. Then why is it matching not only the Dark Knight but even the Avengers openings overseas? In Spain, the UK, and Australia it has opened on par with Avengers. You would think the lack of "Heath Ledger factor" would it have hurt it in Australia but it clearly did not. Even in countries like South Korea and India TDKR has opened higher than the Avengers, countries where you would think Avengers would easily do better. Now before you say "it's because the overseas markets are expanding". The UK and Australia are developed markets, like the US. Now, I am not saying the domestic opening would definitely have beaten the Avengers under normal circumstances but I think it would have come a lot closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Someone can be mentally ill -- or more precisely -- have a psychotic break with reality, and still be a terrorist or commit a terrorist act. The two aren't exclusive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have your lovers of BB (which I sometimes count myself apart of), but many are hard pressed to say that TDKR isn't one hell of a film, if just not consistent for them.

The two aren't exclusive.I'm aware that. This news outlets and some of the general audience would still say exactly what I mentioned if it was one of the races I mentioned though because of stereotypes.
