Avengers wins again beats the Dark Knight in domestic gross

[Ninjaz In Paris]

um, they DID!


the plot and overall story was generic, the dialogue was lame, and the acting was wooden aside from RDJ & ruffalo's performances. BUT it was going to make $$$$ ANYWAY because it is a MASH-UP FILM with all of those marvel characters in them!!! they could of dump a pile of shyt literally and have ironman, hulk, capt. america, and thor fight over that and that piece of shyt still would of BLEW RECORDS at the box office.

but lets just say it was just some GENERIC unknown characters and this was the same EXACT film aside from that factor...u and i BOTH know that shyt would of been wack as fukk...calling it out for biting transformers dark moon shyt, biting the opening of the green latern shyt, going after the CLICHE alien vs. mankind storyline WITH the CLICHE ENDING of a nuke attacking the mothership (i mean didn't INDEPENDENCE DAY done that shyt before?)

congrats for the movie's success, but stop living in a dream world saying that it was "surprisingly good". it was an AVERAGE superhero movie that's been overrated due to the circumstances of it being the 1st time having all of those marvel characters all together.

as for NOLAN. that dude has NO PRESSURE on him!! all that PRESSURE he had was with INCEPTION, which was a DANGEROUS risky film to make...and WB gave him CARTE BLANCHE for him to do his OWN dream project, push it out in the summer and HOPE it would be a HIT..which it was.

this dude has NO pressure on him at all now!! and why should he? for the SAME REASONS i stated for the avengers, TDKR is going to SELL regardless of how the film turns out. haven't we LEARNED from LUCAS and the star wars prequels? they were ALL garbage films, but all sold like hot cakes.

Naw...

God damn some of yall dikk ride Nolan way too much, and for the wrong reasons. "TDK" ain't even his best movie.

Fred.

 

[CoolazzFemale]

Some people just hate the truth.

Nobody said TDK was hot garbage. It was a bomb ass movie (and yes I will be with the rest of the nerds and go see the TDK marathon leading up to the midnight showing of TDKR)

However,
Avengers was on some sawg piff a lot of summer movies aim for.

Just thought I would add this feul to the fire:

AVENGERS Movie Box Office: Still Behind THE DARK KNIGHT Ticket Sales?

Ticket sales: The Avengers movie vs. The Dark Knight

The true measure of a film’s success at the box office is not its gross, which can be inflated by economic factors and assorted surcharges, but the number of tickets it has sold in relation to the population of the region/country in question. Both The Avengers and The Dark Knight are phenomenally successful movies. But again, which one sold more tickets in North America?

Until early June, The Dark Knight was the obvious answer. After all, Nolan’s Batman Begins sequel was screened at fewer IMAX houses and was not in 3D. Adjusted for inflation, The Avengers was about $40m behind The Dark Knight.

Now that The Avengers has added more than $60m to its domestic box-office gross, things have changed a bit.

As mentioned above, The Dark Knight‘s adjusted domestic take — to better reflect the number of tickets sold — would be approximately $588m today*. In other words, Nolan’s Batman movie would thus be about $13m behind The Avengers.

However, if 3D screens accounted for 50% of the Avengers‘ domestic box office (the percentage was 52% on the first weekend), then after deducting the 3D surcharges (calculated at 33% above the cost of a 2D movie), The Avengers‘ gross plunges to approximately $525m — or about $63m below The Dark Knight‘s adjusted cume.
Even if only one third of The Avengers‘ gross originated from 3D houses, the Disney / Marvel release would still be behind The Dark Knight: approx. $550m vs. TDK‘s aforementioned $588m.
Even if 3D represented only one quarter of The Avengers‘ gross, it would still trail The Dark Knight in ticket sales: approx. $572m worth vs. TDK‘s $588m.

And finally, remember that The Dark Knight was screened at only 94 (costlier) IMAX houses, while The Avengers was screened at 275. The ratio is almost 1 to 3.

Ticket sales: Can The Avengers surpass The Dark Knight?

Now, will the Avengers movie eventually surpass The Dark Knight‘s ticket sales at the domestic box office? The answer is: it depends.

In the unlikely scenario that only 25% of The Avengers‘ box-office gross came from 3D venues (and while ignoring IMAX surcharges), The Avengers could theoretically surpass The Dark Knight, as it needs to earn only an extra $18m or so to achieve that feat. Else, especially considering the advent of The Amazing Spider-Man next week, the answer is: "not likely" — unless Disney rereleases their Avengers movie. (Note: The Dark Knight hasn’t been rereleased.)

Besides Christian Bale and Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight features Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Cillian Murphy.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, and starring Bale, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20.

* An estimated $7.92 movie-ticket-price average in North America in the first quarter of 2012, as per the National Association of Theater Owners. Remember that The Avengers was released in the second quarter; the average cost of a movie ticket during that period will likely be higher thanks to a flood of 3D releases.

shhhhhhhh!! TDK trolls HATE when u post FACTS on the board. however, i would like to correct one mistake and that TDK had been rereleased for two weeks back in jan '09. that's whut helped it push it to the billion mark.

But the scoreboard says avengers beat the dark knight in gross though. What is history going to remember.

Avengers is the Limp Bizkit of films.

 

[TreyAce]

when did Limp Bizkit drop any songs that were above a 3 outta 10

All I see is a bunch of copping pleas and spin doctor tactics from an unknown website...."the true measure of a film’s success at the box office is not its gross"....get the fukk outta here. That is the exact measurement of a film's success. The list is for highest grossing, not the shyt he's talking about.

Is it seriously this deep for people? I mean, god damn. The mental gymnastics here are insane.

Fred.

Why are we comparing Avengers to TDK anyway? Shouldn't we wait for TDKR opening weekend for a fair comparison?



Anyway, more fuel to the fire...
