Dark Knight grossed 158 mil opening weekend.

I vote yes, by 5 mil (163 mil)

d2cheer

Close but I don't think it will. Probably fall short by about 5 mil.

Kal-El

There was no "I doubt it" option so I voted no, but I really couldn't care less.

fumanstan

I don't think so. Maybe if it was in 3D.

MrSmearkase

Depends on word-of-mouth, although even then I don't see big drops from Friday-Saturday-Sunday.

Just in case, I'll vote Yes.

not another dark knight thread....

Considering the first made 98 mil opening weekend, I think it is safe to say this will easily top 110.

JumpCutz

No.

I say no. When Dark Knight IMAX midnight showings tickets went on sale around my area (SoCal) it sold out in like 3 or 4 days. Also there was a 3:00am showing that sold out. Iron Man IMAX tix went on sale last month and the midnight showing didn't sell out until this week.

I was just about to call you out so you could be an active participant in this thread.

I can't believe we have another TDK thread.

We should have something here at dvdtalk of whenever someone starts a TDK, they have to take some sort of walk of shame.

EdTheRipper

Nope, I doubt it.

Iron Man 2 has a lot of hype but it seems to come more from online/comic fans. I'm anxious to see it but, with The Dark Knight it seemed like everyone was interested in seeing it. So I vote no to this poll.

Mr. Cinema

The first was very well received and the sequel has much more hype and anticipation heading into the opening weekend. I think it has a decent chance, but will probably fall short a little. I see an opening of anywhere from $145-$150 million on its way to over $400 million.

Matthew Ackerly

No chance.

Supermallet

Nope. It's good, but not Dark Knight good, and the anticipation level for TDK was absolutely through the roof. This will make very good money, but I don't see it making Dark Knight numbers.

Cardsfan111

I'm with the overwhelming majority...no.

Maxflier

Another vote for no.

TheMovieman

To make this more interesting (and it is off-topic), what movie will beat TDK's opening weekend? Avatar 2? The Avengers? Batman 3? White Chicks 2?

Anyway, I voted no. It'll have a healthy opening but Iron Man 2 doesn't have the necessary hype to do so.

Supermallet

My guess is the final Harry Potter movie will beat TDK's opening weekend. It'll be 3D, it'll be in IMAX, and it will be the very last Harry Potter film, so even people who may have skipped out on the last few will come back to the theaters for one last wizarding hurrah.

Maxflier

White Chicks 2 will come up just short, but Avatar 2 will beat it for sure.

Hokeyboy

I think this movie will have similar grosses to POTC 2. Both POTC 1 and IM1 had similar grosses, were out-of-left-field mega blockbusters, and were firmly rooted around the bravado performance of the lead performer. I expect final grosses to be around $450m or so.

But in regards to the OP's question, the answer is vorshtein.

Dr. DVD

Doubt it.

Paul_SD

only if one of the leads dies in the next 24 hours.


well, let me restate that- only if Gwen, Scarlet, or Bob dies in the next 24 hours.

Solid Snake

agreed. Unless RDJR dies....I doubt it.

TheNightFlier

Highly doubt it.
