No Hope for the Dark Knight Rises domestic Box office (450 million tops)!

[Runa216]

*sigh* dude, The Dark Knight Rises is going to end up precisely where EVERY seasoned Box Office Veteran expected it would. While yes, many fully expected it to be #1 for the year with about 450 million in US box office receipts, nobody predicted The Avengers would break as many records as it did or manage to BEAT Titanic's original run.

There is nothing wrong with the Dark Knight's performance. There is nothing even remotely close to a failure, and while the shootings certainly did put a damper on its opening weekend, it likely had little effect on its longterm prospects.
