You know what else is
Green ? Something that will be added later with special effects .... and we are talking about a hero who lives in a CAVE, so this can be just an entrance to a new batcave or something ...and the pit wasn't THAT big

:lol @ their speculation after saying what they actually shot. Thank god fanboys don't make these movies.

Are you joking me? I'd lost to see the fanboys at super hero hype get together and write a script that will ultimately be filmed. By the way, after the initial draft is done, nobody is allowed to edit it or make revisions, and all posters and promotional material has to be provided by existing board members. I'd pay to watch it.

That was already released.

The Dark Knight Rises just wrapped up in India, and now it’s moving to the next location. I’ve received word from multiple sources that The Dark Knight Rises will be filming next week on St. John Street in London. The shoot will last about four days, from May 16th until the 20th. Local businesses in the area have been told that they’ll hear gunshots during this time. It’s likely that they’ll film at The Farmiloe Building on St. John Street — this was used as the Gotham City Police Station in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

'Dark Knight Rises' creates tension between Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are arguably Hollywood’s most high- profile business partners, having shared in the spoils of such blockbusters as “300” and “The Hangover” and the pain of flops like “Jonah Hex” and “Sucker Punch” over the last six years.

But their long-term partnership has come into question as the companies have for the last few months been discussing the possibility of extending their co-financing and production deal, which expires in 2013. That’s in part because they have also been in heated negotiations over working together on one of the industry’s most highly anticipated movies, next summer’s Batman sequel “The Dark Knight Rises,” according to knowledgeable people who declined to be identified because the talks are confidential.

While Legendary was a 50/50 partner on 2008’s “The Dark Knight,” which grossed more than $1 billion worldwide and sold 16 million DVDs, the film financing and production company has for months been trying to secure a similar ownership stake in the sequel. The film, which like the last two Batman pictures will be directed by Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, is expected to cost at least $250 million to produce.

Warner Bros. recently installed movie chief Jeff Robinov has been resistant to again share half the profits, people close to the talks said. A major reason for his reluctance is the studio’s impending loss of its most lucrative wholly owned movie franchise, “Harry Potter,” which ends its run this summer. Robinov is counting on DC Comics superheroes to fill the void left by the boy wizard.

Robinov and Legendary Chairman Thomas Tull have recently agreed to collaborate on “Dark Knight Rises,” but are still discussing the terms of their financial arrangement -- most notably whether Legendary will get a smaller-than-50% stake this go-around.

“Legendary has been a great partner and we look forward to working with them on ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’” Robinov said.

"We're gonna need a bigger building."
 
250 million dollars is insane. The second movie grossed a billion dollars and then some because of DVD sales but that budget is mindblowing keeping in mind that there is no Joker this time around.

Inception brought in $800 million+ worldwide so WB let Nolan go nuts.

Nolan teaching Batman how to fucking shoot like a man. Nolan's batman films are a way for him to keep disguise himself. I wouldn't be surprised if HE was the one that shot Bin Laden.

Nolan goes to India for a week or two, and BOOM Bin Laden is dead?

Something fishy here man.
Plus his crotch has a video screen.

LOL! Not a chance. With marketing included I'd say its around $400m if not more.
I don't think the marketing budget will add to the overall price of the movie that much because everyone knows The Dark Knight Rises is coming out. The awareness is already enormous thanks to The Dark Knight. The hype is high, and it's still a year away. So regardless, it's gonna be a huge hit. The question if it's gonna make more money than the Dark Knight. My guess: probably not.

What are you talking about? How does the marketing budget not add to the overall cost of the film? Are you suggesting that the marketing budget is part of that $250m figure given up above?

Because I can guarantee you it isn't. You'll find that pretty much only the production budgets are ever released. But don't worry, Spider-Man 3 and Pirates 3 each had a higher production budget ($300m - $330m).

For a movie like TDKR, $250 is actually what I was expecting.
 
That's speculative, anyway. It'll probably be more like 200 mill. TDK cost 185 and recently Inception "only" 160.

Not like it matters, this movie is gonna make a shitload of money.

I could see TDKR breaking opening day records next year with ease. Of course I think The Hobbit will beat it later in the year.

Probably not, holiday movies are slow burners. You should know. :P

And if The Hobbit is anything like the other three, it'll open on Wednesday anyway.

Opening weekend, then. The anticipation for The Hobbit will be huge. Add to that the 3D ticket prices and the slight chance of extra WoM due to the 48fps and you've got something big coming.

Either way, I fully expect The Hobbit's final take to trump TDKR.

I predict that TDKR sets the opening weekend record, does less domestically overall than TDK, does more overseas overall than TDK, and worldwide does slightly better than TDK.

weren't you horribly mistaken in predicting Inception numbers? I remember someone giving someone shit about it.

yeah, I predict that TDKR will be a huge bomb.
 
Inception was the movie of the fucking year.
No one will remember King's Speech this time next year. But Inception, that shit was like the Matrix all over again.
 
TDK budget: $185 Million.
I don't know why people are completely flabbergasted, it's ('only') 65 million dollars more. It made a billion dollars back in profit. It's not like they're spending 500 Million on this new one.

I'm pretty sure it made a billion dollars all up, actually. Which is still a lot of coin by WB standards.

Really? You think The Hobbit is gonna be some epic success story?

I really, really doubt it.
 
next year is fucking stupid:
TDKR
TinTin
Hobbit
Superman
New Bond
Tarantino's Django Unchained.
Star Trek 2


fucking hell.
 
Scullibundo said:
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.

I'm not.

Maybe because i don't look at the Hobbit and see LOTR numbers. It's called the Hobbit, and the hobbits were not the most interesting part of LOTR at all.

The opening day record is held by "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" (power of teenage girls) which stands at $72,703,754. TDKR would have to hit mid to high 70's in order to top it with ease which is possible. However the Hobbit would then need to have somewhere around a $80,000,000 opening day which would be extremely difficult.
