Re: Weekend Box Office (7/20 - 7/22): The Dark Knight Reigns Supreme
The Dark Knight Rises made roughly $19,389,129 on Monday (a 51.8% drop from Sunday), in the middle of Summer, The Avengers made $18,898,999 on its first Monday (a 66.9% drop from Sunday), while schools were in. A very strong number for TDKR (TDK made $24.5m on its first Monday), but with all the back and forth between TDKR and Avengers, it was worth mentioning.
I've already said it multiple times that I didn't like The Avengers and haven't seen TDKR, not sure what I'd have "sour grapes" about, being analytical in a Weekend Box Office thread is nothing new. Sounds to me like someone is being ridiculously defensive for absolutely no reason. Box Office doesn't effect the quality of a movie and very few of us actually profit off the release of these numbers (probably stock fluctuations at most)

Box Office Guru thinks the shooting cost TDKR about $20 million at the box office this weekend. If you account for inflation, less people saw TDKR on opening weekend than TDK, which almost never happens for a beloved movie like TDK. The drop from Friday to Saturday to Sunday was stunning for a movie of this caliber.

But Sunday for TDKR dipped only 11% to $40.2M. The 2008 pic eased just 9% that day so for the followup to be so close is a positive sign for the longevity of Rises.
TDKR won't outgross Avengers or TDK, but it'll do fine.

Made $17,745,000 on Tuesday, $198m so far.
Here is how the year is shaping up. By Friday TDKR should be #3 for the year thus far.

Wow...TED did really well, as did 21 jump street. Safe House and Huntsman looks like they did fairly well as well.

about a quarter of that list = R rated, kind of surprising.

Prometheus has finally reached $300 million worldwide ($125 mil US). Decent, not spectacular. But even better when you compare it to something like a PG-13 rated Super 8, which also earned $127 mil US and $259 mil worldwide. Hopefully that final figure is enough for Fox to greenlight a sequel, which I think even the disappointed would still be up for.

Mod Note: Can't help yourself, can you? First the cross-posting, then the photo of the shooter from Colorado, now this. One more and you'll be stuck in suspension land for a nice long while.

How many lines does xage have to cross before he gets suspended? Snake got suspended for like a week for something relatively harmless in comparison.

TDKR is up to almost $225 million through Thursday. Boxoffice.com is predicting $66 mil for the weekend, which will put it at around $291 million after 10 days. I'd say $500 mil is still very reachable.
