The Avengers isn't even nailed to beat THG at the moment. (Domestic of course)

You still haven't said anything about my TKDR > DH2 prediction. Is it possible that you have come to your senses and agree with me now? . It's been almost an year.

Not gonna happen...you under-estimate the domestic decline TDKR is gonna see. 

Decline caused by what? The lack of Joker? I've explained why this won't happen a thousand times. The ones who went to see TDK will go to see TDKR as well. The lack of Joker is just a slight inconvience,and that inconvience will be balanced out by the desire to see how the new villain performs.

I don't think TDKR will have a decline in it's domestic. I even think it will increase. And it will increase because it's the end of the trilogy. And that's a heavy factor. Look at DH2..even if DH1 basically sucked..DH2 still broke all our expectations,because of that end effect. Sure, TDKR won't have the same effect because the trilogy is much younger than the harry potter franchise,but the effect will be there. And there's another thing -> TDKR will look better than TDK because of much more IMAX footage.

Even if,let's say,the movie suffers a bit from the lack of Joker,that negative effect would be diminished by the fact that it's the end of the trilogy and huge IMAX theaters gross.

And then there is the overseas increase. There will be an increase for sure,but nobody can tell how big. I myself think it will be at least $200M.

It will be  close but I can clearly see how TDKR will slightly get passed DH2.

EDIT: And I forgot to mention about Nolan's increase in popularity due to Inception.
