Box Office: The Dark Knight Rises Passes $730 Million Worldwide

Avatar has more tickets sold than any other movie since Titanic[pic]

No, it didn't. When Avatar hit $600M it sold an estimated 60 million tickets. Titanic sold an estimated 128 million. The movie industry doesn't track tickets sold, but I doubt it ever topped 80 million here.

negro avatar did 760M(750M when you take off the re-release) Box Office Mojo has Avatar at around

it made what $760 million total. At your estimations, that would mean Avatar sold about 76 million tickets.

Edit: The Dark Knight is estimated to have sold 74 million, and we all know what Avatar did overseas.

Probably more like 70 though. It was pulled from standard screens before 3-D.

So, lets take 5 million tickets off TDK for IMAX. So that puts it at or just below 70.

There weren't even enough IMAX screens in 2008 for it to be that much of a difference. Can't remember how many IMAX screens it played on, but I think it was something like 58 screens.

94 IMAX screens, and a $6.3m opening weekend take.

Well, whatever, I knew it couldn't be that much. $6.3M is nothing.

The Fire Rises!

Bane impressed me through out the movie and I believe the more times people watch the film, the more love tom hardy will receive for the role. I went to see the movie twice in the opening weekend, and the second time I paid much more attention to Bane.
The second time through I thought Bane was brilliant for a few reasons:

1. His voice. His voice during normal dialogue is intriguing and definitely sets him apart from other characters. More importantly though his voice fills the room, especially when you first hear it in the airplane. My favorite part of the movie is the first fight between Bane and Batman, and more specifically Bane's monologue that he delivers while absolutely destroying Bale. When Bane starts to speak about the dark and how he was born in it he yells the word "Blinding" and the intensity in it is scary as !!.


2. Bane doesn't blink. Now I'm not entirely sure about this since I only started paying attention during the prison scene (during this scene he seems to close his eyes once, but its slower than a blink). I'm pretty sure this was a clear decision on Hardy's behalf since he couldn't act with his mouth he had to accomplish everything through his eyes, and if he blinked he would not have been nearly as scary.


3. Some people believe that since he was not the child that climbed out of the prison, that his character was built on a hollow foundation which instantly crumbled during Thalia's revealing monologue. Was Bane a mastermind? Yes. Thalia's role was very different than Bane's. Thalia was in charge of the creation of the nuclear reactor through Wayne enterprise. Bane was in charge of everything else. Bane was in charge of securing the doctor at the beginning of the film, securing the sewer system as the underground networks, in charge of getting rid of batman. Bane actually did more than Thalia, though both were essential parts of the puzzle. He was the league of shadows.
