MrPink Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Expendables 2 was so bad, it was good.I can see why Baumer didn't like it as much though. This one borders on complete parody, whereas the first one, which was occasionally referential to the old action flicks, took itself semi seriously.Also, I think TDKR could have done 500m without the shootings. Could. Never will know for sure, but I think it's wrong to merely assume it affected OW and nothing else. I predicted 550m. I was wrong, I just don't know how much I would have been wrong by Edited August 18, 2012 by MrPink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's going to do $450m with the shootings. That's 90% of $500m. So, it shouldn't be "beyond you" as to why a lot thought it could do over $500m. Which it would have done had it not been for the massacre. So a massacre is the reason it didn't meet your expectations huh? Pure class right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 A very respectable and impressive milestone. Why some people ever thought it could do $500m+ or pass TDK is beyond me. Holy shit you're stupidly stubborn and obtuse. And I see you haven't responded to my post, should I view that as you knowing you're wrong? Seems that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackO Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Excuse me, do you live in Aurora and saw the impact firsthand? Were you at the memorial service held for those who lost their lives in the tragedy? Are you paying respect to their memory in your sig? No to all? Well then don't ever accuse me of hiding behind a tragedy that rocked my hometown. Well I wiil, when you accuse anyone who thinks that 500M is so outrageous as a Nolanite. You are using the tragedy to back up your own low opinion of the film's box office performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 So a massacre is the reason it didn't meet your expectations huh? Pure class right there.Why are you bringing class into it?This was one of the worst mass shootings in America's history. Nearly every media outlet labeled it as 'The Dark Knight Rises shooting', 'The Batman Massacre', etc. That was fueled to an even greater amount due to the killer calling himself the Joker.The massacre massively hurt TDKR.Move the fuck on and accept it.

druv10 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We desperately need a big OW to put the shooting behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I see you haven't responded to my post, should I view that as you knowing you're wrong? Seems that way.I've responded to the issue plenty of times. OW was affected, minimal at best after that. Or did you not see how quickly the box office returned to normal after that weekend? So I'm not gonna keep feeding some of these ridiculous posts. Some of you will never admit to being wrong when there's a tragedy up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop using a tragedy to hide behind when there's bucketloads of evidence that the box office wasn't strongly affected after that weekend.

I always admit when I'm wrong. There are enormous piles of evidence that overwhelmingly support that the entire box office climate was massively hurt from the shootings.

JackO Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Before when I joined TE over 150M club a few weeks ago, I was thinking that because the ads showed exactly what the film was, people would be more open to it but I guess big guns are no longer a hot ticket in Hollywood anymore.
