Anyone else sick of The Dark Knight Rises?

Not like there is much else to talk about as far as box office goes.

Poor tribefan, I know how it feels when a movie you've been committed to supporting fails on such a massive level (The Last Airbender).

Could've been worse. At least my film wasn't a complete bomb on a critical level as well. The rabid cult following it's managed to attract is frankly impressive. Edited August 4, 2012 by tribefan695

"Neck to neck "? that's bullshit.

[bballman24]

yeah, he mad

I think TR needs to win Friday by at least $3m to have a chance to win the weekend.

[ecstasy]

Can't wait to see what the cinemascore is for TR. Twitter is crazy mixed.

[MovieMan89]

I think it will get a B or so. I doubt audience reaction is nearly as bad as critical. It looks too inoffensive just from the previews to get a scathing response.

Unless people hold the original in high esteem, some do, but I doubt young 20 year olds do, I suspect you're right. But a 'B' cinemascore isn't too much to write home about.

Variety has their projections. They're essentially in line with Hollywood Reporter.http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118057458

This weekend is boring. We all knew Total Recall was going to perform like Battleship.Bring the Hope Springs/Campaign/Bourne Legacy combo!

[AniNate]

Between the Olympics and Total Recall, I know what my entertainment choice would be this weekend

I always get sooooooo bored of the Olympics by this point and am usually completely done with them. Honestly how many times can you watch someone swim or flip on a bar?

Those events are wrapping up. Track and field events will start cranking up over the next few days.

[AniNate]

There's also been a lot more going on than swimming and gymnastics. The cycling races today were pretty awesome.

[MovieMan89]

I guess I just find most of the Olympic events to be painfully boring to watch. I mean track and field? Sorry but no way am I gonna plop myself in front of the TV just to sit there and watch people run. Go USA though!

Volleyball is where it's at surprisingly, the regular kind.

To each their own, I guess, but watching the Ethiopians and Kenyans embarrass everyone else in the 10,000m today was pretty fun to watch.

I do enjoy watching gymnastics for a while because of the athleticism and skill on display, but they overdo it to the extreme and like I said by this point I'm done.
