There is no doubt the shootings had an effect on this movie. In fact its evident by the drops that it had an effect on people going to the movie theaters as a whole to see any movie. I have read reports this movie would have been at least $15-$20 million more, or possibly higher. There is really no way to know, because of that despicable act. It did at least break the record for IMAX at $23.8 million world wide.

Its too bad this movie had to have this dark cloud over it, but I don't however think it will take much away from its overall grossing number. It probably will slightly, but not by much.

Im pretty confident that throughout this week TDKR will hold pretty well, and have a small drop this coming weekend. Many people that canceled their plans to see the movie out of fear or respect of the shootings are planning to see it this coming weekend. A small portion will still not see it or wait a few weeks when fears die down. Im going to expect around a 43% to 49% drop in its second weekend. Most big opening weekend movies drop at least 50% in their second weekend, but I do think a decent portion who canceled this past weekend will go out to see it this weekend.

And the biggest OW for a 2D movie (unadj.)
