Dark Knight Rises will most likely go on to pass over 450 million domestically but how far will it go overseas? It is currently 577 million in 7 weeks! I believe that it will pass or near Ice Age 3's massive total of 690 million but will be below 700 million.

I think that Ice Age 4 is going to pass the $700 million dollar mark overseas and become the highest grossing animated movie of all time overseas.  And like Ice Age 3 its going to hold on to that top spot for at least three year because I don't see anything releasing anytime soon that can make more than that overseas when it comes to animated movies.  Well actually the second Smurfs movie could easily make over $700 million dollars overseas but I hope it doesn't the first movie made way more money then it actually deserved.

So how do you feel about TDKR passing Ice Age 3's 690 million total?

Since it will be in theaters for a couple more month it has a good change of making more then $690 million but not a lot more.  But the clear winner when it comes to overseas totals this year is Ice Age 4.  The Avengers did great also but I think I could have made a bit more, it should have been closer to a billion dollars in its overseas numbers.


Avengers looks like to be the winner so far in terms of overseas bo numbers but The Hobbit hasn't even released yet and Return of the King pulled in almost 750 million back in 2003 OS with only a 90 million budget. If the quality level of the Hobbit is as good as the Original Lord of The Rings trilogy then it can do what Avengers did WW overseas alone. (1.5 Billion)


Yes when it comes down to just numbers The Avengers is the winner but I still think it could have done better overseas.  But as far as beating expectations Ice Ace 4 is the winner.  Also it looks like 20th Century Fox has another potential cash cow in the making when it comes to animated movies since Rio is getting a sequel.

Nothing worth mentioning.  The Words with Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana is the only major release it opens on 2,801 screens.  Box office mojo is predicting that this weekend will be the worst weekend of the year in terms of numbers.

Already doing pretty good overseas with a little more then $102 million is the seventh highest grossing movie released by Lionsgate domestically will probably not reach the $100 million dollar mark domestically but should easily pass Saw III and Saw II on that list.

Avengers was expected to finish under 600 million OS and will finish over 900 million. Whereas Ice Age 4 will barley beat out its predeccssor in OS numbers and maybe not finish below it WW...anyways by the end of this weekend TDKR should pass over 600 milllion OS and pass On Stranger Tides for 9th place.

This Friday is the lowest grossing domestic Friday since September 2008 according to box office mojo. The weekend numbers are going to be terrible.

Now that the actual numbers are in at box office mojo it official this weekend was the lowest grossing weekend domestically since the weekend of September 5-7, 2008.

Wow TDKR may not even hit 450 million at this rate. I'm predicting 445 million domestically.

Yes especicailly before the Hobbit comes out. I'm having a hard time predicitng where the Hobbit will stand given how much Return of the King did back in 2003! It took Harry Potter 8 years of inflataion 3D and $160 million more on budget to pass its $1.1 Billion total!

I only watched the first movie twice since I watched the theatrical version and the directors cut.

Dollar Cinemas been more then a dollar for a while now even here in North Texas which still has pretty low ticket prices compared to other regions of the US.
