mattmav45 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) The media may as well stop beating around the bush. From now on, anyone who sees TDKR and commits a crime of any nature within a year after viewing should be labeled a "copycat." Someone besides the actual criminal has to be blamed, right?

darthdevidem01 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Wow, Spidey's number is bad.Seriously, what's Sony going to do next with Spider-man?TASM had good word of mouth but not great.Gross is decent but considering that it's in 3-D attendance isn't great.Fans and fanboys that rejected this movie are less likely to sequel to it, so what next now? With all due respect to those that loved TASM,re-booting the franchise was a knee jerk and stupid reaction to a very controllable situation.They'll just make a sequel and hope it does better than this one!What else can they do apart from trying to make a sequel as good as they can possibly make it.

Hatebox Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The Litigation Rises.The perverse thing is that the killer is still alive. It's not like he killed himself and the survivors are left with no-one tangible to blame... he's right there in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah, no movie has ever had to deal with this kind of baggage.I'm trying to understand why people feel the film or WB had ANYTHING to do with the shooting. Jesus Christ, this country is so fucked up. Everyone always has to point the finger and someone else always has to be responsible. Yes, it was terrible, but there is only one person to blame for what happened. The movie studio having to deal with lawsuits is really sad, and I think embarrassing for the state of things in the country.My biggest fear is that WB will effectively take the blame and make the reboot campy because "the previous movies were too dark/violent and inspired a mass shooting." WB is getting pulverized with negative publicity and the film is being unfairly associated with a nutjob killer. You know what they say though. Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it. WB suits will try to make the reboot as safe as possible, which means as campy as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Why u guys see an increase tomorrow is waaaay beyond me.

Take DH2s numbers for this week and that's the daily drops you're looking at.Exactly..... maybe it will drop a bit softer due to more prevalent Tuesday discounts.... but 5% is the best drop it can have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasanahmad Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The farther we get away from 19th of july, the more the people who are afraid will see the the movie, some wont ever in the theater but most will, this will automatically be seen in better legs than tdk, in the end ending up closer by 10-20 percent, the number i think who have been holding out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I do not see an increase on Tuesday.

Deathlife Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So many ifs, buts or maybes about TDKR's box office.Makes discussing it a bit of headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 But TASM increased on it's first Tuesday and so have many other movies. why not this?Because TASM didn't open to 160 mill in its first three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Because TASM didn't open to 160 mill in its first three days.And it opened on a Tuesday instead of Friday, so that was actually its 8th day of release instead of 5th day of release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 This has nothing to do with my so so feelings towards TDKR, it is more to do with trends and how record breaking films perform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 They'll just make a sequel and hope it does better than this one!What else can they do apart from trying to make a sequel as good as they can possibly make it.Yeah, Sony has made their Spider-Man decision. They can't change their mind now. We're getting TASM 2 in May 2014, and that's that. There's no other option.It seems Spider-man (as a film franchise) has been moved from main eventer to jobber.Well I wouldn't say that. Spidey still brings in more money than Thor, X-Men, Superman, or Captain America. (Let alone GL.)Thanks to the tough release date for this one and now the shooting tragedy, it's not going to have a super strong finish. Which just means that the sequel will increase even more than most folks are expecting it to. (Since there will be more room to increase.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will have its own trend we will find out more by the end of week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film film exactly in line with expectations yesterday and it will do so throughout the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
