So how is it doing:

I don't really get it if it's good or bad.

Its made $125,300,000 overseas so far which is decent but you have to wait a couple more weeks to get the real picture of how well it will do overseas.  Also it will not be released in all overseas markets until the 29th of August and its doing a lot better then the picture that's just ahead of it in the domestic box office total of 2012.  Disney's/Pixars Brave which has only made $70,500,000 so far and has a long way to go to pass The Lorax's $97 million overseas total coming close to Madagascar3 and Ice Age 4's overseas total looks impossible at this point they both made over $280 million overseas.

Looks like The Watch is going to be a terrible movie that's only slightly better then That's My Boy. The trailer for Life of Pi looks pretty awesome so 20th Century Fox should have another hit in November.

Agreed The Wach could bomb hard.  I will be suprised if it does better then Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter on its opening weekend.  The only reason it could do better is because its a comedy and they usually have a wider audience appeal then horror movies.  Even the people at Fox probably know the movie isn't that good that's why they don't show a lot of adds for it.  So far The Watch has a 5.7 rating on imdb but I'm sure that number will go down over the weekend since most of the people that reviewed it so far probably saw it for free.

Well the first weekend of the Olympics is usually uneventful not a lot of events and the opening ceremonies are usually mostly boring.  Plus since most events are not shown live it kinda pointless since you can check up on the results before they happend.  This years Olympics are a bigger deal in Europe.  The 2016 Olymics are going to be a bigger deal in North and South America since they take place in Rio and most event are going to be shown live there.

It can't do below $70 Million

don't buy the doomed talk

Last weekend was deflated remember.

Todays drop was a bit harsher than expected, but I put that to discount tuesdays making Tuesdays drop less than expected...so it evens out in the end. 

Think we'll get a $79 Million 2nd weekend.


Below the 70 million mark is possible if the TV ads don't return on Friday and the media keeps constantly talking about the shooting in colarado. I did predict a 215 million opening weekend however the shootings took a big toll on the saturday and sunday collections and around 10% of the Friday collections as well. However if it doesn't do better than the Dark Knight in its second weekend then there is no way Dark Knight Rises can cross the 500 million mark domestically all thanks to one idiot! 

I've heard people saying TV ads are back on most networks.

It will have to cross $500 Million somehow, only then will TDKR have my permission to die! 

If you could provide me with a link confirming that Dark Knight Rises has TV adverts now would be great cause I can't find one :(

Dark Knight Rises is performing much better than The Dark Knight Overseas and should possibly tie or pass the Avengers overseas from the data we've just recieved. So the worldwide breakdown will probably like this..

NA: $467 million (if it does less than 70-79 million during the weekend)

Overseas: $890 million (some of the markets its about to release in will be huge give the Dark Knight Rises around an additonal $150-200 million during the weekend and it should have great legs similar to the Dark Knight)

Total: $1.357 Billion

However...

Breaking the Avengers 104 million record will be incredibly hard as movies in July don't grow more than 50% generally from Thursday to Friday however if The Dark Knight Rises does turn out to be a weekend movie as people on this thread are saying than..

NA: $587 million (it needs to get at least 90-95 million in its second weekend and have legs similar to the Dark Knight and keep outdoing it during the weekends)

Overseas: $890-$900 million (the overseas market won't change)

Total: $1.477 Billion - $14.87 Billion (Tieing the Avengers or beating it becoming the biggest film of the year...until the Hobbit comes)

However this is an unlikely scenario and most probably won't happen...however when it comes to DVD and Blu Ray sales...This film will smash records earning much more than its theatre run similar to the Dark Knight

VEry good analysis, I think I agree with most of what you have said!

Well done!

Sorry I can't find the page where forum goers said that...but it seems to be in dispute.
