#ED Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Total Recall will barely beat TDKR or vice versa. It may be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballman24 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Just read about Total Recall... Arnold is not even involved.No "actual" 3 titied girl too (they are covered if you know what I mean ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Nolan should make a Steven Seagal movie to break 500m again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 This was supposed to be the year of the 3 600m dom movies.Except TDKR never stood a chance at that, and even as high of expectations as I have for Hobbit, 600 will be extremely hard. 550m is much more achievable, imo.

DAR Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 But three and possibly four films to make 400 million is a good trade off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 It will pass THG, but Woody and Buzz are not going to go out without a fight as well as Simba, Jack, E.T. and Elloit, they will all be right there waiting for "Mr. Wayne". Possible Celing for TDKR: 7 Shrek 2 DW $441,226,247 2004 8 E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Uni. $435,110,554 1982^ 9 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest BV $423,315,812 2006 10 The Lion King BV $422,783,777 1994^ 11 Toy Story 3 BV $415,004,880 2010 12 The Hunger Games LGF $405,363,383 2012 George can rest easy, Both Star Wars are safe. 60m would be nearly 27% better than DH2's second weekend. If TDKR only does 25% better than DH2 for the rest of its run after this weekend it makes 420m. How can THG even be considered a possible "ceiling" when, in actuality, it's hard to even call it a possible basement? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 THG is beaten for sure. It will be far closer than pretty much anyone expected though, especially when you take out TDKR's IMAX inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Potter's frontloadedness is hilarious, especially considering the last one had amazing critical reception and supposedly great WOM.I'm not sure why that's hilarious. It had a 20% jump in admissions from DH1. It's the seventh sequel. Of course it was going to be frontloaded. It had fantastic late-legs, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably closer to DH2 than TDK.3.5 after a 60m 2nd weekend would get it to 435m. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Harry Potter was the most incredible franchise ever.Fact.8 films in ten years and billions of dollars of box office.Warner was sitting on a mine of gold.Now, Warner re discovers the difficulties of their business without the Potter magic.

#ED Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 So everyone agrees a $60M 2nd weekend will lead to a $415M - $430M gross? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 So everyone agrees a $60M 2nd weekend will lead to a $415M - $430M gross?I'd say higher. Late legs would have to be kinda crappy to only get to that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 430+ would be great. That's around 25% higher admissions than the next biggest non-Joker Bat movie, Batman Forever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
