Avengers wins again beats the Dark Knight in domestic gross

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

i'll never understand why people factor sales into a discussion on what's better than something else. sales =/= quality...

moviegoers went because they invest 5 films leading up to this with hopes of a good mash-up. give credit where its due to marvel for creating the perfect storm that was impossible to fail, UNLESS they took a risk, which they didn't. which is why the PLOT was a generic one and got a safe director that they know will just ensure all the characters have chemistry and include comic book humor.

there was NOTHING challenging about the avengers at all. they knew people will flock to see it JUST because of them investing all those characters to see them go at it all at once.

TDK, however, was totally different AND was a risk-taker that hugely paid off. and that's why, i say it may not reflect in gross overall sales, but MORE people are going to see TDKR than the avengers. as i stated before, it's already projected to debut at $190 million the 1st weekend, and THAT'S not even with the benefit of 3D sales...and that's the box office's SAFE projection at that, implying it could do more! the reason being, it's the sequel to one of the most acclaimed and successful films of all time with such an impact that it forced the academy awards organization's hands to change up the number qualified to get nominated for the best picture oscar. it's the conclusion of a trilogy that everybody is at the very LEAST curious as to how it will conclude. even the HATERS would flock to watch it on the low just so they can find lame excuses just to hate on it.

it already got other franchises to push their shyt back. fukkin' bourne legacy stated it wants no parts of whut's about to happen.

If that were the case then they could've made The Avengers a shytty movie... I think Batman fans are just mad that The Avengers is actually surprisingly good. They could've half assed everything & it still would've made money but it's actually a good film so it rightfully deserves the money its made. You really think if the movie were as dumb as Battleship it would've done these numbers? Naw... it got great reviews and word of mouth spread because I know people who didn't care to see it that eventually went to see it because they kept hearing it was good. You think anybody thought about Battleship after it's opening weekend? People are forgetting the hype around Batman in that it would be Heath Ledgers last performance & that he went out with a bang so a lot of people went for that reason as well.

Nolan has a shytload of pressure on him right now & I just don't know how Batman fans will react if the movie ends up not living up to expectations...

no confusion you said the dark knight is the better movie then avengers. I am just pointing out the fact that more people paid money to see the avengers.

This just gets me thinking about a restaurant. When people hear good things they go to that restaurant. Now perhaps that old restaurant you went to was good but this other one is crowded and people are waiting in line for it. But there you are eating at your old restaurant all loyal sure there is no line and sure the food is good but others are willing to wait at the other restaurant then perhaps there is something about it.

But look at me talking about a restaurant when the topic is movies.

Your post is totally nonsensical. I don't even like Batman as a superhero or character. My position or posts have nothing to do with loyalty.

The reality is that if you compare plots, stories, acting, characters, depth, cinematography and other basic things TDK is better in all those aspects OVERWHELMINGLY.

Avengers has more action and more humor (I guess). That is it.

There is no credible analysis where Avengers is the better movie based on real and reasonable criteria. If you prefer movies where you can shut your brain off and just watch explosions and fights just say that. That is the only thing Avengers excels at. It does not even remotely attempt to have a real plot or story.

There is no credible analysis where Avengers is better. PERIOD.

so a good movie has to be challenging

it seemed to me that avengers and batman had the same plot stop the bad guy? Sure they went about it in different ways but both movies were seeking justice and order (or in the avengers case avenging).

so you saying a bad movie would be 3rd highest grossing film world wide?

are we all some kind of visual masochists?

no, but you're putting it up against another film that's only ranked one below that one. besides there are some movies that didn't make nearly as much money as the avengers that i'd rank higher than that movie. you're letting the hype get the best of you...

the second highest grossing movie on the list is Titanic. I was overwhelmed by the non stop action in that one.

 

[Rekkapryde]

who has got blade rights? the last movie was 8 years ago surely marvel could start it up or put him in avengers if they wanted

New Line I believe.

That's your opinion... The cinematography? Really? What was so great about the plot in TDK? There are people who argue that Begins had a better storyline and they're Batman fans too...

And what part of TDK makes people use their brain

TDK was challenging to you?

Inception was a movie that could make you think but TDK? Really?

It's like Batman fans are looking for excuses... I guess Prometheus is better then The Avengers cuz it makes you think right?

And Acting? That depends... I mean but hey if you think Christian Bale & Maggie Gyllenhaal are great actors

not worldwide



and we all have our personal opinions sure but I think our money shows our collective opinion.

If any of you consider "TDK" a deep, challenging or risky movie you seriously need to broaden your cinematic experiences, because it was none of the above.
It was a PG-13 summer block buster, nothing more nothing less.

I didn't.
The only film I saw leading up to this one was Iron Man. I didn't know all those others films were leading up to this one til a day before I went to see it.
