TDKR, breh.
The Dark Knight's $158.4 million opening, and the third-biggest debut overall domestically, trailing just Marvel's The Avengers ($207.4 million) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 ($169.2 million). $19 million of the total came from 332 IMAX theaters the movie is playing in. The Dark Knight Rises, which received a CinemaScore of A, took in $75.5 million on Friday, $44.9 million on Saturday and another $40.2 million on Sunday.
the entire world at jeopardy and they manage to "control" the fight in a 3 block radius
First weekend box office looks like the Avengers won.
I don't know about best trilogy but I will say this: I think Dark Knight Rises is perhaps the best 3rd film of a trilogy that I've ever seen. Normally by the 3rd, you're just happy if it wraps things up decently and doesn't ruin the whole series. 3rd Godfather was trash. 3rd Matrix was painful. 3rd Back to the Future was a joke.
Nolan's Batman just might be the first trilogy I've seen where each film is arguably greater than the last
I liked both tremendously, but Dark Knight Rises had me thinking a bit more about it after leaving the movie. They do have very different feels and themes though, almost too much to be compared. Both will be day 1 blu ray cops.
Agree, cept BTTF wasn't a joke. That film gets more of a bad rep than it really deserves. The weaker of the three for sure though.
But yeah, this is easily the best 3rd movie of a trilogy by probably a very long shot. Damn near every other 3rd movie goes from just ok to downright terrible.
Aliens 3
Terminator 3
Matrix 3
Both Star Wars set 3rds
Different types of movies but my vote goes to avengers. I left TDKR feeling disappointed
exept the 3rd star wars prequel was the best one...
they were all trash tho so...
And these dudes that nitpicked at DKR all damn day just ate it up
What about Hulk conveniently learning to control his rage after he fell from the sky
