There is no way TDKR will beat The Avengers.
Hollywoodreporter cite " insiders with access to theater grosses" and claim 165 to 170 million for the weekend. I'm going on a limb and even say that even without the shootings, this movie would still not have beaten the Avengers. |
With a $30.6M midnight gross, TDKR was originally headed for a $90M+ OD. That would have been $10M ahead of The Avengers.The chances of beating it for the whole weekend would have been realistic.But the shootings stopped the movie to even get close to that projection.

You cannot assume that. It just means that TDKR shot a bigger load at midnight. To prove my point, Harry Potter did over $40 million at midnight but still wound up with an $169 Million opening gross.

Don't compare apples with oranges. DH2 was a book adaptation ,and it performed as such . TDKR is a comic-book movie,just like The Avengers...with that mid-night opening ,followed by how a comic-book should have performed based on it ,it should have at least beaten The Avenger's opening day. But it didn't. The shootings massively affected the movie's opening , and anyone that thinks otherwise is either a hater or simply doesn't know enough about the box-office.

But your still assuming. The shootings did have a negative impact, but did it have a $47 million negative impact (the figure needed to at least tie TA)? I don't think you should label people "haters" for thinking realistically. I still think not being in 3D played an equal or greater role.
