Even with the tragedy the opening weekend was very disappointing. Most people expected it to do 180$ million at least, some thought it could beat The Avengers.

The first friday TDKR made more money than Avengers but then the tragedy happend and saturday and sunday underwellmed. Personally TDKR was even better than TDK.

 

Let's get this straight.... TDKR did NOT make more money than The Avengers on it's first Friday. The signs were there from the begining. While I agree that the shootings had some impact, it was not the reason it didn't shatter records. Lets face it, Heath Ledgers critically aclaimed performance coupled with his untimely death gave TDK an edge that TDKR could never have.
