The Dark Knight Rises was always going to be a huge hit domestically. But the big question was, can the film top The Dark Knight's international gross of $468 million? The answer is yes, as the Christopher Nolan-directed films passed the $400 million mark today, and it's currently on $407.2 million, according to Screen Daily.

The Dark Knight Rises will probably pass $1 billion worldwide (or it will come very close to that number), but it all depends on how much will it make in China. There is only one catch... The words is, that it will open against The Amazing Spider-Man on the same day in China (August 27th). Both films will make money for sure, but we'll see how much exactly. China is one of the biggest international markets, so the gross should be solid. Stay tuned for more box office updates.

Starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Morgan Freeman, The Dark Knight Rises is now in theatres.

Spidey will dominate Chinese markets, you have no idea how huge Spider-Man is in foreign markets, especially Asians.

I'd love it to, but really not sure it will now. This week and next you will see a steady decline, it's inevitable.

Not bad, not to concerned if it does or doesn't make a billion.

Yes, Asia loves Spidey. China is 3D-crazy right now. But, they also really like Nolan's films. TDK was never released there, but Inception made like $80 million. It was huge.

Couldn't care less if it makes 1 billion, the movie is outstanding regardless. Since when does making a billion become a necessity?
FilmsFan
FilmsFan - 8/10/2012, 7:18 AM
@WolvieCBM Exactly!!
INCEPTION earned 80 Million$ in china 2 years ago & its an Original & Complex SciFi film in 2D! & that's same as Avengers did being a Huge SuperHero team-up film in 3D & is lot more kids friendly!!

On spiderman; ya it's HUGE!!
Just go & check how much TASM did compared to previous 3 films & it's in 3D!!
SpiderMan film can NEVER flop; but TASM earned aren't very impressive compared to previous ones!
& TDKR is already equal or ahead of TASM in almost every county!
In US or UK!! Everywhere!
It will do well in china; might open bigger but TDKR eventually will take over!!
That's the trend everywhere!!

I live in one of Asia country and believe me, people here more excited for TDKR than TASM and kids preferred Avengers than TASM because tasm is aim for teens

GO DARK KNIGHT!!

I also agree with Ceejay.
I'm sick of people acting like the big thing that matters is what it makes at the box office. Who gives a shaz? It was a really great movie, and judging by the polls, the majority of us liked it. If it makes a billion, cool. If it doesn't, cool. I don't care. What matters is that we've been given, dare I say, the best superhero trilogy ever made (so far).
Man I really want to see it again now, lol.

Spidey was definitely the better movie. It wasn't Christopher Nolan masturbating for almost 3 hours.

I think it's quite funny that now that TDKR might not hit $1 billion it isn't a big deal but during Avengers run, that was all the talk of how TDKR will do better.

Guys, honestly who cares if Avengers "beats" The Dark Knight Rises? It's just box office money, and most people went to see Avengers on impulse anyway, I know the first 3 times I saw it were on impulse!!! As for people being afraid to go see TDKR, I think it's a valid fear, but I also think that we should RISE above that, because that's one of the main points of the movie and the trilogy in general. Hell, I recorded a whole podcast on why we should still go see it! Anyway, thanks for listening guys, and I hope all of you went to go see BOTH Batman and The Avengers.

P.S. The Avengers features 6 superheroes (Cap, Thor, Hulk, Stark, Widow, and Hawkeye). The Dark Knight Rises features one (two if you want to argue Catwoman). Of course Avengers would appeal more to the average person!!!

@ mbembet - Agreed. Why do people compare the two movies especially on who made more? I NEVER got that. Just because a movie made alot of money mean that its good. Just because didn't make alot of money mean that it was bad. Money doesn't ALWAYS equal quality when it comes to movies.

I don't understand why fanboys get so competitive whether their movie makes a billion dollars. At the end of the day you guys don't get shit. I swear the fanboys are more concerened about the movies making money than the damn movie studios.

TDKR will miss a billion by a dollar.

@Ceejay and Wingding well said guys.

I think the so-called "Marvelites" are only bringing up Box Office because many of those that are now saying Box Office doesn't matter when it comes to TDKR were all on the opposite side of the coin last spring saying that TDKR would top the Box Office this summer because it would be such a great film, etc. I always thought it would push the billion dollar mark, but after seeing it felt it was only an average film. Great that it is making the money, but as stated, money doesn't dictate how great a film is. The only thing that dictates that is the individual viewer's feeling on the matter.
