ilikemunster Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 So I'm guessing TDKR will finish with about 450 domestic? Considering the recent events, I think that is pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 And I don't know one person who loved it as much as TDK. I can read reviews on line where people loved it and I'm not denying that there are a lot of people who do love it. But there are enough people out there that found it too dark and somber and void of fun. So it is having an effect. You can't honestly believe Shawn that a 76% drop from OD until today is strictly because are afraid to go sit in a theater.There was also the Olympics.

Adm56 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Avengers 2 could very well suck. But being on Team Avengers I'm glad I have something to look forward to. Nolanite Batloonies are DONE. This is all you get. And if it continues to underperform that will linger for a LONG time. Well unless Man of Steel is depressing enough to be the next film you all flock to.

Jack Nevada Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) I think TDKR is about as fun as TDK, not that significantly more depressing. For example, Scarecrow's cameo was pretty funny IMO Edited July 28, 2012 by Jack Nevada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be surprised if they release a movie in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 28, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) And I don't know one person who loved it as much as TDK. I can read reviews on line where people loved it and I'm not denying that there are a lot of people who do love it. But there are enough people out there that found it too dark and somber and void of fun. So it is having an effect. You can't honestly believe Shawn that a 76% drop from OD until today is strictly because are afraid to go sit in a theater.I'm simply suggesting that a 76% drop by itself is meaningless. We always knew it was going to drop big because of the midnight take. The problem here is that we're used to having finite circumstances by which to qualify these kinds of drops -- but that isn't the case this time.Between the other films dropping hard last weekend, their apparent failure to recover this weekend, the Olympics beginning, and the national backlash of moviegoers as evidenced in NRG's tracking -- you have to admit, there's some strong evidence there.If WOM is the primary factor affecting TDKR, why is almost every other film in the market now struggling too?

Moviedweeb Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thor was at least pretty funny, and it had Hemsworth. CA had nothingUh, CA had just a little more than nothing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm56 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Most of my friends have no desire to see it so I've only talked to about five or so people who have. One really liked it, two were like 'meh' and two didn't like it at all (One comic book fan in that, but two are fans of comic book MOVIES). Miniscule sample size but enough to convince me that reviews are mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yeah and reboots ALWAYS go SO well...There is a lot of potential with Batman, moreso than any other superhero character. Key is hiring the right people. I just hope they don't copy the formulaic Marvel Universe. I didn't buy for one second that Tony would die in Avengers because they were making IM3 at the exact same time that I was watching the Avengers. The crossover "universe" storytelling kills the individual movie's storytelling if everything has to tie in. I'm sure WB will try to copy it, and if they do I'm sure it will not turn out very well. What they should be trying to do is create a live action version of Batman: The Animated Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm56 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I probably won't. Batman's always been my favourite superhero. Superman is just boring.The problem with Superman is that he's too powerful for there to be any real drama IMO. It's like in Star Trek...you create the transporter and then you have to figure out how to break it in half the episodes so our heroes can actually face some sort of legitimate physical threat.

They cast him for the aborted Justice League movie a few years ago. I was against it until I saw the guy's performance in The Social Network.
