Budget: $30 million
Domestic: $42,400,223
Foreign: $116,891,586
Step Up Revolution has the same budget and the added benefit there's more 3D screens across the world. It might not do well here in the states, but it'll do bonzo bucks overseas.

We are going to see DKR this afternoon using movie cash from a few of the Upgrade and Save titles bought at Best Buy. I wonder how many people are using promotional credit like we are.
Edit to add: Does anyone know how these movie ticket deals work as far as the Box office numbers are concerned?

It's not. In fact, it's your opinion. You do know your opinions aren't facts, right?
I saw The Avengers 4 times in the theater...which I have never done before. I could never see TDKR again and be perfectly happy. Nothing terribly interesting happens in that movie. Lots of speeches, very little action, hardly any Batman. I thought Avengers was one of the best movies I had ever seen and TDKR was merely okay but should have been better.
Luckily, this is one case where the better movie also wins the box office war. It's too bad Nolan dropped the ball a bit as he could have had a better finish. But I had a feeling TDKR wouldn't take the summer, just based on trailers alone.
Of course, that is my opinion.

TDKR made an addtional $19.4m on Monday. Just a smidge more than Avengers (when school wasn't out).

+ DVD Sales, + Blu Sales, + licensing deals, + video game sales, etc. Warner Brothers hasn't shed any tears over the profits they made from Batman Begins.
We are going to see DKR this afternoon using movie cash from a few of the Upgrade and Save titles bought at Best Buy. I wonder how many people are using promotional credit like we are.

From what I have been told, even though it seems you get the ticket for free, the studio has it on the books that the dvd/blu ray was free. The money you paid goes towards the box office. Most of the titles these free tickets come with are HUGE sellers in the past (that have made money 10 times over) or titles that don't move off the shelves very fast. The sales numbers may go towards the disc, but the money goes towards the box office.

Not to derail this thread with box office numbers, but The Amazing Spider-man, like everything else, took it on the chin this weekend. Looks like it'll top out at or just above $250 million US. Worldwide it has reached $614 million. I think Sony is probably happy with the results considering the risk they took by starting from scratch. Now that the origin is out of they way, part 2 should be more action packed and I expect will do better business than this film.

I've always read that movie ticket vouchers are eventually expensed under the marketing expenditure for a film and considered just another marketing expense, like trailers and ads.

I guess making irrelevant points(excuses) about a movie making a certain amount of money because it was on a non-school night in the summer qualifies? Sounds like sour grapes. Just present the numbers and keep it moving.

Most of this thread was talking about how TDKR made less money because of the shooting, box office threads always have discussion on why certain movies make more or less (For example, Thanksgiving Thursday/Friday usually make more than non-holiday days).
