I predict less takings than the previous one, franchise fatigue sets in again.

I realise it may not be a popular viewpoint but it's my honest view nonetheless.

I agree with you. There's also the fact that The Dark Knight had the whole buzz around Heath Ledger's Joker performance and his tragic death a couple months before the movie opened.

I don't think Ledger's death bring people to the theaters if so then The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus would have been a finantial succes.

I do think the Imaginarium would have done a bit worst without Ledger's death.

The Dark Knight is another story altogether because there was all those rumours about the fact that getting in the Joker character had taken a toll on Ledger and led to his death. I'm not saying I believe this was the case but all that talk around a role so intense that it could have a self-destructing effect on the actor who portrayed it surely ignited the curiosity of many.
