A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 If we combine pre-sales of TASM and TDKR together, that will be about equal to TA's.So TASM/TDKR on the same day does hurt both by a LOT. Most audience have to make a choice between the two pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Well, here is another consideration, assuming average audience is stupid that they do not really know the difference between TDKR and TASM (or they dont even bother to know). So, they go to the cinemas, pick up one and watch it and then leave. They will just come back when there is another big movie. Actually average movie goers see TDKR and TASM as the same, since both are big superhero movies. My point is, (to average audience) what being released on August 27 are not two big superhero movies: Batman and Spiderman but either Batman or Spiderman or Some-whatever-man. So the worst case: TDKR + TASM = TA. I once thought it would hurt both by about 30% released on the same day. But now I am afraid it can hurt them by at least 50%. TDKR and TASM on same day equals when only one of them gets released in terms of overal box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 if that were the case the number of cinema goers would be constant weekend after weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm predicting $80M for TDKR and $65M for TASM.Pre-sales seem weaker for them when compared to other blockbusters.Again.. Like USA.. I think...Presales says very little sometimes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 will the presales double every day till monday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 will the presales double every day till monday?Maybe not. But still weak even if they do.For comparision, pre-sales for other blockbusters by the Sunday:TF3 > 1M+Titanic 3D > 1M+TA > 300kSo TDKR and TASM combining equals TA on presales at the most.

The Dark Alfred Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 But if people choose a certain film, wouldn't they come back the next couple of days to watch the other one? OD will will hit by the same release date, but surely it will make both films having better legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I understand that the government is stupid, but are the people as well? OW will be surely hit, but hopefully in the long run people will show up for both. However it does kill the repeat viewings I guess. TDKR should still be good for 75m.

Fake Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Is the face-off scheduling gonna continue into 2013 as well?We could see another set of potential 100M grossers missing the mark if they are released against each other - Skyfall and TH1.

And when they are available to go to theaters again, TDKR/TASM will no longer be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
