blackspider Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 For what it's worth, my Facebook newsfeed is filled with people raving about the movie, I think one person mentioned the shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dark-knight-rises-shooting-box-office-352453So up to $30m, "if not more" now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah I really don't see how bringing a gun to a theater 12 hours after a massacre in a theater is a good idea 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelFTW Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Have to say, I'm slightly disappointed by that number. From what my theater did and all the sellout reports some of the posters did here, it seemed like this was going to be at worst the #2 midnight performer of all-time. I guess it could still hit 30m but anything less than 33m probably means Eclipse sold more tickets.The thing is, eclipse midnights in 4000 theaters to tdkrs 3700.wb are pulling a fast one. 100 million opening day cometh!

People are going nuts over the movie. I'm thinking A Cinemascore. The lowest would be A-. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelFTW Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 why would anybody go to the theater strapped? "that always calms everything right down" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasanahmad Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Its pretty much given the shooter didnt care for any movies, if he did he would be in the theater watching it not killing people. The fact that he came from exit door from outside tells you he waited for a packed house in the dark to start means he probably planned it for a long time. I am also disgusted that from between 1 am last night to 6 am this morning the assumption was that it was a brown Indian/Pakistan person. Shit like this scares me because I am originally from Pakistan and I don't want people getting uncomfortable when I go to midnight screenings to enjoy movies.

hasanahmad Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So up to $30m, "if not more" now?Nikki might be counting 12:00 - 3 am and WB might be counting 6 pm- onwards trilogy shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I wanna try and focus on the positive. Let's pull for a huge OD, persevere, don't back down from maniacs, do what you wanna do and hope everyone still goes to see TDKR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah, that sounds better than The Batman Killer, which is just bullshit.. I mean, that'd really make WB feel better.. What did BKB do to get banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 What did BKB do to get banned?Looks like the mods finally reviewed/made a decision about his insensitive comments last night.He blamed the shooting on Nolanites, more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who assumed that? That is disgusting, but not shocking. Anyone who thinks we live in a "post-racial America" is not paying attention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Has WB released any kind of statement besides that they are pulling Gangster trailers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punishment Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Exhibitor Relations ‎$27M was WB's early estimate...may be closer to $28-$30M...but because of the events...we may not get an official # from them this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumos Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Ha! Only 28M for midnights....this never had any chance of any records. So glad, Potter will keep its insane midnight/OD records!! Edited July 20, 2012 by Mr Potter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Shouldn't be surprised. The first description of a shooter is usually a person of color(no debates here).Yep. I remember my mea culpa from last year, when I was convinced the Norweigan shooter was an Arab terrorist. It's a bad assumption to make but when you think of terrorist acts you general associate it with that. Maybe not anymore, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
