pmoore Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Batman Returns was also not a very good movie.Batman Returns is a great movie and actually received better reviews. Much improved over Batman, imo. It is tied with TDK for my favorite Batman fim. Its backlash at the box office had nothing to do with its quality.

Heretic Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Why's everyone happy TASM plummeted?I was pleasantly surprised by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Five sellouts in the afternoon today as opposed to two yesterday and one on Friday. Good business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) It'd be amazing to see an increase today.Wishful thinking probably. But that would be a nice way at least to end such a terrible weekend. Edited July 22, 2012 by Heretic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem2x3 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 If this did not happen it could been TDKR 190m OW Avengers 200m OW could been a great box office runs. I am sure Joss Wheldon and Marvel did not want to win this way. It is like playing a sports team and having their best players injured and winning. You really do not feel like wining.I honestly doubt these guys put stock into beating each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yeah, I'm not sure they really cared anyway. They're just happy people loved their movie and made it a big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 At my main Regal theater, Avengers sold out eight shows on Friday including Midnight, and 9 on Saturday and Sunday.

The Dark Alfred Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) With roughly 3600 theatres sales up TDKR is at 108m Fri-Sat. Saturday is significantly higher than Friday exluding midnights. Edited July 22, 2012 by The Dark Alfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 At my main Regal theater, Avengers sold out eight shows on Friday including Midnight, and 9 on Saturday and Sunday. TDKR sold out eight or nine Friday, five yesterday, and five so far today.Usually good Sunday holds for superhuge movies like this one are due to people being unable to go to sold out shows on Saturday and Friday. But if there's a good hold today, it would be more indicative of people being more comfortable with the idea of returning to the movie theater in general. Which, of course, would be a good sign for the box office going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctoru2 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 True story and he turned out to awesome as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Michael Keaton is def under appreciated.Maybe I need to see these movies again, but I was one who hated Keaton as Batman. Bale, to me, is the ideal Bruce Wayne. He is ridiculously handsome and debonair - the way I've always envisioned Bruce Wayne to appear. But Bale also is in great shape with the strength to pull off the acrobatics and fights performed by Batman. Keaton's scrawny frame and "Mr. Mom" vibe never convinced me. After Bale, I did like Val Kilmer (for the same reasons I liked Bale). However, will readily take Keaton over George Clooney. Clooney is great in many roles, but Batman wasn't one of them.

filmscholar Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) It's a damn shame this isn't going to beat DH2 OW, This whole thing is Tragic. Worst weekend in Box Office History. I have Tickets for IMAX next week cause I saw it on regular screen, I wonder how I'm going to feel going back to the theater after everything. I know It's going to feel differently. One thing for sure is everyone needs to pay more attention to your surroundings when you are in a public place. Make sure you sit close to exits and know where exits are. This whole situation should teach everyone it's not about being paranoid but be prepared. Edited July 22, 2012 by filmscholar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
