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.

Yeah but many movies aren't even reviewed until the very day they release or a day before, so must people wouldn't even be aware of the score. But I bet this movie will get a 90+ rating so it will be a non-factor essentially when comparing to TDK

True I do agree with you on the factor of the 90 range rating and it not being a factor. I will say though that reviews for movies start rolling in at least a week in advance and the final influx of them comes the day before or day of. but yes I doubt the score will have any effect since I don't possibly see its score being anything close to south of 80%. Im thinking around 90%.
