"The Dark Knight Rises" Will NOT Beat "The Avengers" at Box Office

Posted: June 29th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
The Dark Knight Rises Will NOT Beat The Avengers at Box OfficeSubmit Comment
"The Dark Knight Rises" is set to hit theaters on July 20th and experts have now collected enough data to make an education prediction regarding how the film will perform, at least comparing to "The Avengers," which is now the third highest-grossing film of all time.

According to tracking information, "The Dark Knight Rises" will be huge. The percentage of people in the US and Canada who said that they were "definitely" interested in seeing the movie was 64% and the percentage of those who said that it will be their "first choice" was 22%. The numbers are identical to "The Avengers" prior to its release.

Looking closer at the "first choice" people, "The Dark Knight Rises" is stronger among men, while "The Avengers" was stronger among women. The only category that "The Dark Knight Rises" lags significantly is that of "unaided awareness," which is a percentage of people who knew that the movie was an upcoming release. The figure is 8%, compared with 13% for "The Avengers" at the same point in time.

The numbers for "The Dark Knight Rises" are higher than for 2008's "The Dark Knight," which grossed $158 million during its opening weekend. It's expected that the third Batman movie will end up earning somewhere between $158 million and the $207 million that "The Avengers" took in. The film has a bit more competition than "The Avengers" did, but will still easily crack the $1 billion mark globally.

I think The Dark Knight Rises will make lots of money but not like The Avengers.

Fans have waited for many years for The Avengers to be made into a movie.

Damon242 writes:

Yes, but The Avengers was also in 3D - and if it's anything like the cinemas I visited during the time, for every ten 3D sessions you will find only two 2D sessions.

And the extra cost involved with every 3D ticket certainly didn't hurt The Avengers earnings.

They should do a study to show the total if DKR had the same percentage of tickets sold in 3d as the avengers did and then see the total. No doubt it would make more. I want to see a total tickets sold if theres no 3d. That will be the only real way to see which was seen more

Is there ANY original thought left in Hollywood?

The endless parade of comic book clowns is for a short-attention span, and rapidly devolving horde of nincompoop moviegoers.

Yes, this means MOST OF YOU!!!

Counting the days until the reboot. I mean, Batman Begins is f*cking great and I watched a lot of times, The Dark Knight is good, but way too overrated, while Batman Begins is a lot better. This one seems lamer than the other two. Hopefully, Batman will finally get the movie he deserves. So long, Christopher Nolan.

Don't really care if it beats The Avengers box office, as long as it's a better movie.

And based on the trailers & TV spots, it definitely is. Can't wait to see it. It looks fantastic.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent, *sshole, and no one can force their opinion on you unless you lack the mind to possess your own.

Obviously, that's you. A mental jellyfish.

The only question left, then, is why hasn't evolution weeded you out?

The dark knight rises doesn't need to beat the avengers. The movie has one hero, ONE. The avengers needed 6 (7 if you count nick fury) to get those numbers
minkowski writes:
on June 29th, 2012 at 11:33:27 PM

lol, I don't think there's any correlation between the number of heroes in a film and how much money it makes...besides, if that's the case, with Nolan's bloated cast, TDK will make a quadrillion bucks, then.
Recumbentibus writes:

The fact that The Dark Knight Rises will earn one billion dollars with such sh*tty trailers and some strange casting (catwoman looks terrible and Bane speaks with a funky English accent) is a huge accomplishment in and of itself.

Like many of you have said. Avengers did offly well since it is Marvel's 1st Avengers movie and it gained ticket sells through 3D.

Nolan was asked by WB to make the TDKR in 3D. He told them, "Ahhh, NO!"
