Great post, Allfreedom99, and I agree with most of it, but one thing you must also consider is that the Batman movies now have the reputation that they didn't quite have before TDK came out. Ok, Begins was good, but was it a one hit wonder? It turns out it wasn't and TDK was even better. This will draw more people to see this film, because they know it'll be great.

Also, professional reviews don't affect opening weekend numbers much at all.


Also I do think Professional reviews can have a small effect while minimal. For instance if you have a huge budget movie that gets a terrible Rotten score in 40% I think it will have at least some effect on who decides to go see it. Especially if there are other decent options for movies playing at that time.

Granted TDKR most assuredly wont get scores even close to that low and I expect at the very least in the 80th%. So I don't think the score will have much affect on fans either.
