ZattMurdock Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Now I'll crash. At least for one hour. Or two. Work in the afternoon, completely useless today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orestes Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Why is 27m midnights disappointing? Only Twilight and Harry Potter movies have made more and TDKR shouldn't be as frontloaded as them. TDK did 18m. Seems like a good number.For a CBM, 27m is really goddamned good. Its only 'disappointing' for those with unrealistically high predictions.

pinocchio Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Lol what r u the parent police? Do u know these people or their lives? Geez, r some people this dumb (as in u)? How bout u focus on the fact a random douche bag goes into a theatre (which could've been anywhere, and anyone of us who love movies'at midnight showings) and decides to be a pussy and shoot innocent people.Three months old babies don't belong to movie theatres at midnight. And even if the mom needs two jobs to support the family AND is a big Batman fan she has to find another solution. Because the baby and it's sleep should be more important.

rockNrollaDIM Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's so petty to complain about but I feel cheated out of what should have been the greatest weekend of all time for box office enthusiasts. This is like our superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I hope Rth gives a numbers soon..... official numbers will be here in couple of hours anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 27M is disappointing and no spinning it and the weekend will probably be not as high as many predicted as well, tragedy at Century Cinema or not.. It's 28m+ now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochofles Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thank you, guys, for your concern. This kind of crap makes you reevaluate so many things and puts so many things in a new perspective. I am praying for the families and loved ones of all of the victims to find strength and eventually peace and closure. Amazing how vulnerable people are in a movie theatre, sitting ducks indeed. By the way, who else here is from CO? I hope everybody is ok.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Putting on the box office hat for a minute though, yes 27m is a disappointing number. Quite disappointing, actually. Was hoping/expecting this significantly north of 30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarantino666 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 While I think expectations for midnight records or really close to it were too high, in hindsight, Twilight and Harry Potter are different beasts. They have rabid fanbases of young people without jobs going to midnight showings.I think significantly topping the midnights of The Avengers and The Dark Knight are the better comparisons here.

This is like our superbowl.Nah, that was The Avengers weekend. This is more like a really great conference championship game, with THG being a good divisional round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orestes Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Weren't most people predicting 40M for Midnights?? If so, damn.. Think the only ones predicting that were the handful of folks who had TDKR doing 210+, but that was unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
