BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES #1 With $36.2M, TOTAL RECALL Stumbles With $26.5M

Honestly thought "Total Recall" would do a lot better than this, just thought hadn't come across that bad despite having Biel and Farrell as leading pair.

Oh well, let this be a lesson to anyone else wanting to remake or base something on an Arnie movie - No Arnie, No money.

I honestly dont care for TDKR, it was over hyped disappointing for me. I was anticipating to much, expect to much and came out knowing it was a complete MESS.

Bring on the reboor.



Good news for TASM now, the greatest of 2012 IMO. Total Recall can suck my nuts.

It always baffles me how they give weekend results on a Sunday morning before 1/3 of the weekend has even passed.

So TDKR is the 3rd Fastest to cross 350 Million$ mark!
Isn't it great!?!


I Loved the film & so happy it's doing great!

wait wait wait....i care about Jessica Biel

Lol TDKR can't get 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.

What is the score/rank for TDKR on Metacritic? or IMDB? Oh what about the average score on RT?

robertneville - It did but remember that massacre that occurred? Still not bad with zero marketing post Aurora.

The Dark Knight Rises is a good movie.

Dark Knight Rises was an epic movie! Great finish to Nolan's take on the character!

@gillri How is it an "adult, mature film"? You're acting like you know how critics reviewed the films. Anyways I never mentioned Avengers even though it is better.

haters gonna hate. avengers was a great movie, i loved it but it was just a fun movie with zero complexity. tdkr on the other hand wasn't just fun.. it was complex, dark and a great way to end this fantastic trilogy.

@rebellion why is it complex? because it contains a ton of scenes not needed or too much longer? Or because the high motivation of Bane's actions?

TDKR was a complete letdown and disappointing, an over hyped mess and never felt like Batman AT ALL IN THE MOVIE. Movieweise, TDK shits all over this, Batman wise BB rapes this. Wasn't the best out of the 3 nor even being "Batman-ish"

No good characters, Batman isn't even in the movie, Alfred goes away for half the film. Now onto Bane, Talia and Catwoman.

Talia- Underdeveloped-plot device.

Bane- Doesn't look not have heritage from Batman I grew up with as child watching the 90s show/reading comics. Bane just felt like a walking catchphrase machine. Gets killed by Catwoman...
Seilna Kyle isn't even Catwoman, she’s just Miss Kyle. She was hot and all, no whip, claws or tail is a pass.
The only part I liked was the last 30 minutes, and [frick]ing hell the worst way to end a trilogy is to have the audience unsure is he’s alive or dead. No closure.

And what’s worse is Nolan did "[frick] you fans he's Robin, we aren’t doing that haha suck my dick"

7/10. Disappointing, over hyped mess that doesn't live up to TDK or BB.


Now this is BATMAN on the screen the way he should have always been, Nolan lost Batman at Batman Begins and moved onto the crime-drama bullshit with a mix of "Batman".

@squaremaster it DID HAVE some negative effect, but not 25%. $354M+25% = $441M. Are you sure that without the tragedy after just three weekends the movie would be at 441?

i go with 10-12% at most + the olympics, but DDD is right: another 10-12% have not seen TDKR just because not interested. Anyway it'll deserve to reach 1 billion

Double D
The Olympics is getting record ratings which are expected to rise with the track events this week

@DoubleD

You are obviously making stuff up, as your Olympics comment showed (it has the highest ratings in 36 years).

And apparently you missed the several polls and reports made not just by entertainment website but also by proffesional services (like Nielsen) that said 25% of moviegoers were scared to go to the movies.

Easily better than Star Wars I-III. Not better than LOTR, but still great. My top two comic movies this year were Avengers and TDKR...no debate.

I cannot wait for the Hobbit and later MOS next year!
