Chirs Nolan is the greatest director of our generation.

The oscar will reject him, but the public will love him!

I'd say the public DOES love him. Chris Nolan has four, count them, four movies in IMDB's Top 100 (TDK, Inception, Memento and The Prestige), and Batman Begins is in the top-125. In history, I think there are only three or maybe four directors that are as phenominal as he has ever been - Spielberg, Cameron, Kubrick, and Hitchcock.

You said 'will' implying future tense :-p

It sounded more dramatic!

You're on Potter's side,and yet you call yourself a Nolan fan.Pathetic.

No way in hell will DH2 reach 400M in US,and 950M OS

Try more like 350M US,850M OS.

As for TDKR,i doubt it's going to decrease that much in the US with the finale factor going for it.It all depends on how WB will market Bane as a villain,if they play their cards right they can make him as liked as Joker was.

Use your agressive feelings boy...let the hate flow through you..grab your weapon, strike mrstickball down and take his place at my side!

lol @400m in US aint happening

the drops for this film will be massive.

Unlikely.

I will concede that there is the possibility that Potter doesn't hit 400m US (actuals are out and it adjusted UP to $169.2m FYI), but remember, this *is* a summer Potter in TDK's timeslot, which is a very good time to release (last one grossed $300m which was higher than Deathly Hallows Pt. 1). Furthermore, there is no reason - no reason at ALL - to assume OS would droop as low as $850m. Remember: POTC: OST grossed a whopping $791m in its slot thus far, and only $237m in the US. Again, there is NO reason that DH2 can't destroy that number by at leat $100m. Furthermore, its breaking all known records on its release. Its not like we're needing to speculate: Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 is already at ~$480 million USD. By your numbers, its only going to have a 2.5x multiplier which is unheard of from a movie that is heavily OS-based like Potter is (where ~70% of its revenue is typically overseas). Look at the data: 60% or greater of HPDH2's revenues are from 3D venues, which have always had great legs overseas.

I don't really view TDKR as being a finalie. Its a cash cow, and unless Nolan kills of Batman, there will likely be many sequels ahead. Again, my argument comes from a simple standpoint of history: Only 3 movies, ever, have hit $500m in the US. Ever. I don't believe another sequel will make that list. TDKR will get close, but I don't think it will.
