Sims Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 yeah the question was record breaking ticket sales or not for TDKR...I think the 30 million midnights and lesser reception (still amazing) compared to TA and TDK would have not allowed it break 190 million for the weekend,.Didn't you post before you thought it would have done around 195 without the shooting? I agreed with that.30M midnights90M OD58M Saturday47M Sunday195M weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Look, I was one of those with a $100m OD/$200m OW... and it's pretty clear to me that $200m died when midnights only hit $30m (and they weren't affected by the shooting). I still think it wouldn've finished in the $180-185m range had things been normal. But really, we'll never know and it's a moot point now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 30 mil shaved off is reasonable. It would hit 190 based off of BOG's early Friday 'high 80s' projection. From what RTH posted TDKR did even/better business than Avengers in top markets so middle America business must have been really hit by the shootings. But it wasn't hitting 200 mil because it probably couldn't ever hit 200 mil. Only with 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 There are hardly any facts or logic used here. Ok maybe that argument can be used to explain why it opened as good as DK. Doesn't explain why it opened as good as the 3D Avengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 200M would've been tough but not impossible. 190-195 is my guess at where it would have landed. Anyone saying it would have done any less than 180 is frankly an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, the shooting deflated day business and made it so the midnights constituted a higher portion of Friday's gross. Second, because presales arguably stopped Friday's number from being any lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExcelFTW Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I had the largest prediction here. Shooting or no shooting, after 30 million midnights, I thought t was headed for 190-195. Right in line with tracking. Admissions record, tops TDK and THG by a sizable amount, still e abit behind avengers due to 3d boost. The 160 million gross really reflects that '7% first choice' advantage it had on Avengers. TDKRs floor was probably 160 million, which is just ENOOOORM. The massacre was a nuclear bomb for the enthusiasm surrounding it's opening, though it still opened to 160 million, which is obviously huge. If we think TDKR suffered, imagine how much money Avengers would have lost if the shooting had been one of it's midnight screenings instead. I don't think the effect the shooting had can really be over estimated. Edited July 25, 2012 by ExcelFTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The Avengers could have arguably been hit worse (though probably not down to 160M) than TDKR since families probably made up a larger portion of its potential audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Actually no it doesn't. That's like saying John Candy's Wagon's East should make a shit load of money in Canada because he's Canadian. One has nothing to do with the other. Do Mel Gibson movies make more money in Australia than anywhere else? Do Kidman's? Did the Ring 2 make a pile of money in Australia?Actually is does, we seem to get behind our actors more than most, and the Joker was a very popular character played very well by Ledger. It stands to reason that if there was any country that was to suffer from him not being in the film, Australia would be that country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
