Forums - General - What happens when/if The Dark Knight passes Titanic in money made...?

BringBackChrono on 05 August 2008

Even though TDK is a way better movie than Titanic, i really dont see how it will beat it domestic or worldwide
im from India, and i clearly remember a theater plying Titanic for a full year, and i can tell you, its not a common thing.

Dark Knight has about a snowball's chance in hell of outearning Titanic. It will be difficult enough to overtake Return of the King.

If Dark Knight passes Titanic, Chris Nolan gets to kick James Cameron square in the balls. Every film contract since 1999 has a clause stating that if the movie in question outdoes Titanic, Cameron's balls get one kick by the director of said movie. Thus far, the score is:

Movie industry: 0
Cameron's Balls: 11,421,519

Aren't Titanic and Return of the King when adjusted above 1 Billion Worldwide?

@Sansui, hope you don't mean Transformers...
Though Dark Knight was spectacular.

 

You're damn right I do.  The best summary of Michael Bay I've ever seen was done by South Park during the imaginationland episodes. 

General: [to the specialist] Get him out of here. [M. Night Shyalaman is hauled away, only to be replaced by...] Mr. Bay, can you thnk of any idea how to outwit these terrorists? 

Michael Bay: I believe I can.  We start... by making a big CG building and then we have a meteor go CROSSHH! [makes a diving motion with his left arm] and it, and it's all like CRAAWWWLL [simulates an explosion with his arms] a-and motorcycles burst into flame while they jump over these helicopters, right? [has his right hand go over his left arm like a motorcycle over a helicopter]
 
General: [firmly] No no! We need ideas how to stop the terrorists!
 
Michael Bay: An eighteen-wheeler spins out of control and it's all like BROSSHH [makes a crashing motion with his right hand] And then this huuuge tanker full of dyna- [launches into a series of explosions] 

General: [fed up] Those aren't ideas, those are special effects! 

Michael Bay: I... don't understand the difference. 

General: I know you don't. Get him out of here! [next in the chair is Mel Gibson] Aaand being that we are all big Mel Gibson film fans, we thought maybe you could help us. 

 

Transformers, like all other Michael Bay movies, sucked. It didn't suck on the epic level of Pearl Harbor, but it wasn't far off.

I don't know who I would want to kick in the nuts more, Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich. It's a tough call.

Especially Armageddon. The animal cracker scene with Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler ranks up there on my top 5 Most Hated Movie Scenes Evah list.

Easy call... use your left foot for Bay and your right for Emmerich...

Not forgetting Titanic was M rated, here atleast in oz. Dk if its PG there. Cameron is going to cry and then when his 3D SUPER MUTHA FU_ _A SON OF A BITCH AVATAR opens up it will murder all, gross billions and shame Dark knight back to its hole / cave. Cameron is fukn master of spending bucks on films, Aliens, T2, Titanic, this guy knows how to spend money and it shows on screen. Avatar is going to kick the nuts of every movie ever made.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
