BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Still Holding Strong Heading Into 3rd Weekend

Even through great injustice it rises.

LMAO! Reason #100 why TDKR sucked...It's still holding strong in its 3rd week!

Yeah it should be due to Total Recall being a critical disaster.

Great. Good.

Rises was disappointing. Too many cliche plot points and some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard in a film. Bane was incredible up until his motives were revealed to be a ruse. The character's innovative design Tom Hardy's presence made for so much potential, but all those plot twists towards the end really killed the mood. The Avengers may not have been "gritty" or "adult," but I have an imagination so that wasn't really an issue. I really enjoyed how well Whedon developed the characters and even though Loki clearly wasn't the villain that Bane was (supposed to be), I really enjoyed his presence in the movie. Furthermore, even though most moviegoers allowed their assumptions to keep them from looking for significant themes, I really enjoyed what the film had to say about how the sentimental aspects of human nature allow for substantial community development. In my opinion, I think that Whedon's movie had way more to say than Nolan's threequel even if The Dark Knight trilogy has been written in a way that makes it's thematic undertones painfully obvious for less astute moviegoers.

Dude the avengers had the cheesiest lines and scenes ever lol slow mo cap and Thor receiving their weapons!? I can see Thor doing that but cap just looked dumb. " I am always angry" was dumb. " if we can't save it we sure as hell will avenge it" was corny a [frick]. The avengers reeked of cheese the acting only made it worse, not hating but the avengers was a cheese fest.

Hawkeye not looking and shooting an arrow at a ship? Blackwidow jumping on to a alien ship!

WTF...Avengers, TDKR and TASM all had these.

There is no way Total Recall will unseat TDKR this weekend...

there cannot be a way...

Okay, if they had gone 'R' and had a lil bit of Beil-Beckinsale nude jello wrestling, maybe.

I gotta think TDKR is going to be #1 for a few more weekends. Nothing on the horizon looks that enthralling, and outside of this website I haven't heard one peep of interest for Total Recall around the ol' watercooler at work, or while gaming, where people are still talking about TDKR.

Oh crap, forgot about the new Bourne. That might beat out TDKR on the 10th.

What's gonna be written like 4-5 months from now to keep this war going? I'm sure the fine writers of this website will think of something. I kid, I kid!

NickKaseAKAthePieEATERxGETIT- haha there it is. Good call.

@cipher LMAO.

"Hawkeye not looking and shooting an arrow at a ship? Blackwidow jumping on to a alien ship!"

I know, right! That was absolutely insane. You'd think this was a comic book converted into a movie or something.

next thursday it will be near 370, the thursday later near 400, but then.. :-)

That it has had no credible competition since it's opening, box office on it's twelfth day of release is roughly $300,000 more than The Avengers twelfth day, but Avengers had some competition... it just blew them away. I suspect Total Recall, although it's getting low marks, will hurt TDKR over the weekend. And, as foreign B/O is still low, making it to a billion will be difficult. There's a reason foreign markets have not gotten it yet... TDK got larger domestic than foreign, had they opened in foreign markets first, like Avengers did, and it got the negative reviews from overseas, the domestic would have been damaged. They know foreign won't overtake domestic, and that's probably going to have to happen in order for TDKR to make a billion.
Just honest unbiased analysis of the numbers... doesn't matter to me... CBMs RULE BABY!! That's what's important. Articles like this are posted to generate hits on the net and boost ad revenue... that's why every video posted gets a video ad attached... just shaking their moneymakers... you.
