LOL, I had no ideea that TDKR releases in 2012. Out of that list it's biggest competition is The Amazing Spider-Man, which will be in 3D, and if it's good enough could probably beat it. There may be some other blockbuster that surprises though.

You have no ideea how wrong you are,The amazing Spider-man will be lucky to hit 750M WW,after the dissapointing SM3.And reboots usually gross less than the originals,so that's another minus.
The Hobbit will be the real and only competitor for TDKR.
|
The Batman reboots seem to be doing much better than the original movies. 
|
TDK yes,Batman Begins,no.Give me another example other than batman,and you get a cookie.

Casino Royale (if it's considered a James Bond reboot, which it should be). It's the most successful Bond film ever. Also, the 1989 Batman was more successful than the previous Batman movies. Batman Begins grossed more than Batman & Robin (which was a considerably more underwhelming film than Spider-Man 3). The Star Wars prequels (they're also reboots in a way) did better than the original trilogy. Plus, The Amazing Spider-Man also has 3D.
|
Casino Royale is a different story.The Bond franchise has had several reboots,some were a mistake,some were the right choice.This is the first reboot Spiderman is getting.The star wars prequels are NOT a reboot,they are a part of the star wars story-line.
And adjusted for inflation prices both Casino Royale and the star wars prequels are much lower compared to their originals.
|
Adjusting for inflation is one of the most pointless things you can do (it doesn't take into consideration the context, and the evolution of the movie industry).
There's nothign special about Casino Royale. It's a reboot, and the most successful film in the franchise.
(Adding another movie to the list: Star Trek).

In that case you shouldn't use grosses without inflation either and comparing to past is pointless. During 60's biggest movie of the year could gross 50 million and it was considered megahit. I believe there was no movies which made over 100 million on their initial release before 70's. Sure, couple movies did but only after several re-releases. According to many, Jaws was first movie ever to get past 100 million without re-release. Even Gone with the Wind had several re-releases (and couple decades) before it got to 100 million. And in most european countries lists are always about tickets sold, not gross. At least here in scandinavia only tickets sold are announced to public.
