Nolan is hyped for this thread!

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

That line bothers me so much :lol

"When Gotham is IN ashes" it what it feels like it should be

When you burn a piece of wood, it doesn't get covered in ashes. It becomes ashes.

I understand that it works fine grammatically. It just sounds weird to me.

What this OP needs is one of those famous Solo box office predictions I always hear about.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Kinda creeping me out how small Bane looks right there.

Bane 2
Batman 2
Joker 2
Nightwing/Robin

Want one? I'll add one if you want.

 

[jett]

WHAT'RE YOU TRYING TO PROVE

That deep down, everyone's as crazy as NolanGAF.

 

[Escape Goat]

Tell us how bad its going to lose to The Avengers in the boxoffice.

 

[EliteArtist]

I dont know man, that second post credits scene they filmed for the American release of Avengers could tip the odds in it's favor.

Of course, Im just waiting for films to have 30 extra minutes of footage after and during the credits.

Last one made a billion, and that was before the overseas market was batshit insane. I think it will get there.

[King of the Potato People]

No more dead threads!

Overseas was already batshit insane then. Maybe not Batmanshit insane, but it was already huge. Batman just never did as well internationally.

The China factor is the biggest wild card with this one, since TDK didn't have that.

I will say it will do over $1B, but not reach your $1.3B.

I've also been predicting 1.3 billion, it will definitely do at least a billion.

I still don't see Bane looking that big and menacing like many previews said he was.

Hulk set the bar too high. If you saw a 5'9" dude with a shearling coat and a mask like that you would shit your pants if he came at you

Thread title got me haha. I am excited for the Avengers this weekend and then to begin preparing for the main event!

 

[Solo]

What's up with the awful new DC logo? The one they'd been using since BB was fantastic, but they've replaced it.

I know, it looks... bland.

 

[the_log_ride]

Goddamn GAF hype after trailer 3 dropped compelled me to watch. Made it half-way through before I closed the window.

Subscribing to this thread, though. The build up until this damn move premieres will be epic. Thread subtitle is hilarious. Good job, OP.

 

[shira]

Will they still have that montage of old comics

 

[Solo]

ooops nothing to see here

 

[dmshaposv]

Callin it now - movie will be very front loaded and will only last in the top spot for max 3 weeks.

Will perform below TDK in domestic BO but overseas will be crazy. Still will easily cross 400 mill in domestic (most of it in first 3 weeks).

 

[EliteArtist]

Maybe. I've seen the logo on television and it shows characters in it. I mean it seems the main reason for the new logo was just so they could customize it for every occasion and that its symbolic of comics or something. I.E. The smiley face from watchmen with the blood splatter would be in the 'C' area of the logo. Of course I don't know why they couldn't do this with the last one.

Nothing has legs anymore. At least in summer.

Well I know they had joker for a lot of animated movies after tdk
I would love to see Bane in there

 

[TrumanBurbank]

I just hope it outgrosses Pirates 4.

 

[Solo]

Just give me dat JNH wizardry on TDKR's score during some Alfred/Bruce/Thomas Wayne flashbacks and I'll be set

 

[Gila]

Oh shit new thread, and were back

 

[ezekial45]

He's not involved with the score this time around.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I know. But Zimmer can hopefully not be a dick and reuse some of JNH's cues from BB/TDK.

TDK was an event movie.

WB is trying hard to promote this as the same - but it just doesnt have the same momentum as TDK. We saw this with Harry Potter DHII last year - which did great - but somehow did less than what WB wanted.

Event movies cant be promoted - they just happen. Right timing, W.O.M, etc.

Cameron nailed it with Avatar.

This seems on the more optimistic side of things, but I can see it.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Event movies aren't even movies anymore.

Yes, just like Avatar.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

This seems on the more optimistic side of things, but I can see it.

Good way to put it.

 

[Speevy]

Everyone makes fun of the writing in these movies, but one of the main goals of blockbuster films is to be endlessly quoted, is it not?

 

[Jarmel]

I think the big indicator of it having legs is going to be the reviews. It's going to be frontloaded regardless but if the reviews tank then it should be interesting to see where it lands.
