filmnerdjamie Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'd say this shaved $30M from the 3-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 That's your opinion and you're entitled to it but imo this is not even in the same vernacular as TDK and it was never going to be. It was handcuffed from the beginning. TDK is a miracle in that it imo is one of the most perfect films ever made. TDKR is a mess, plain and simple.Eh, I think TDKR is better than TDK as well.

theultimatebiu Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yes. Check my prediction in the summer game that was made in May. 465 mill.I'm not discussing overall total I'm talking the OW we are witnessing. I predicted $185M on Thursday.As far as I'm concerend all those other factors go out the window as they do not explain the drop in admissions for OW.

hasanahmad Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have no idea what you wrote there. Nor did I say I "love it to but". I said I liked it overall and then went into why RT would count that as a positive review, even though I had criticisms. And that leads to my point. I've read plenty of "positive" reviews on RT that were actually rather scathing of a movie. However, RT considered it an overall positive review. So that makes it yet another "fresh" review, even though there was plenty of criticism. RT has really just two categories - fresh or rotten. And unless the critic gives it a grade or stars, RT will judge whether the review is "fresh" or not. So even a 2.5 star movie could be considered "fresh" even though the critic attacks the film. As for IMDb, I stand by my comments. The vast majority of those ratings were done BEFORE the movie came out. It's not unusual, I've seen this for every highly anticipated movie. Fans of the series rank the film a 9 or 10 even though they haven't seen it. Hence, early on the film is skewed very high. But once really people start seeing the film, the rating will drop. there are 11 Positive reviews on RT which were scathing but still gave positive, out of 200+ . hardly many if any.

Lordmandeep Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) lolThis is a pointless conversation.Its pretty much arguing if Spider Man 3 or TDK sold more tickets opening weekend.Its been what 4 years and that still has not been settled.

Gopher Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I think that BOG's initial high 80s projections for Friday are indicative of how the movie could have played without the tragedy. 180m-190m was definitely within reach IMHO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 You guys can say all you want but anyone who says the lack of Joker in this film or the "underwhelming" trailers are the main reason for TDKR doing what it's doing is just utter bullshit.Did TPM have Vader? No, all it had was a prissy little bitch that was conceived ala Jesus. Yet people still drove out in full force on opening weekend? Why? Because of the goodwill of the OT. It's the same exact thing here.TDKR had nothing but insane hype and anticipation that exceeded even TDK. Bane and Catwoman created a HUGE amount of interest. Hell, there was a report that stated 87% of the people excited for TDKR were very intrigued by Bane's power. And I'm sure Selina Kyle garnered as much attention with both men AND women. Was $200m possible? Absolutely. $100m OD wasn't just possible, but probable. The shootings had a huge impact on the film's opening weekend. TDKR almost doubled The Avengers' midnight admissions. No comic book film does $30.6m at midnight then finish with $76.1m for the day unless there was a massive event. And there was. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Well I think one early sign to WOM is this.TDK is around 96% on Flixter.TDKR started at around 94% and has fallen to 93%.I think its one of the best meters for WOM as it has sooo many people rating the film.
