'The Dark Knight Rises' climbs to No. 2 at the 2012 worldwide box office

By SM - 08-08-2012, 12:53 PM - Boxden > The TV and Movie Spot

After three weekends, it’s clear that Warner Brothers’ $250 million franchise finale The Dark Knight Rises, which has earned $363.3 million, won’t be able to match The Dark Knight‘s box office haul ($533.3 million) domestically, but it’s more than making up the difference overseas.

Rises is running well ahead of The Dark Knight internationally, having grossed $378.4 million so far. At the same point in its run, The Dark Knight had earned $203.7 million on the way to a $468.6 million international finish.

All told, The Dark Knight Rises has grossed $732 million worldwide, which rockets it into the number two spot at the worldwide box office this year behind The Avengers, which has grossed over $1.4 billion. In third place is Ice Age: Continental Drift, which has earned $716 million.

It’s very likely that Rises, which seems headed to a domestic finish just below $450 million, will slightly surpass its predecessor’s $1.0 billion worldwide cume, though only time will tell how high it will actually rise.

Give me facts on how much money it lost then. It's pointless to say this shooting crushed it's numbers when you have no idea by how much. Truth? Show me the truth then. I'm waiting.

That's like saying i'm the fastest man in the world but never got to defend my title as the fastest man in the world but because i got injured.

One way or another people say your making excuses for it because you got injured.[pic]

Common sense bruh common sense.

I didn't even like the movie all that much, though significantly better than The Avengers. However, if you think the Colorado shootings didn't impact ticket sales, you're just totally delusional. They're movies for Christ's sake. There is no competition.

If he got injured then he's not the fasted man in the world. Look at it this way, some call Barry Sanders one of the greatest RB's of all time yet he doesn't hold any of the major records. All this is because he retired early. We don't know how many yards he would ended up with, but its still fun to speculate. That being said nobody is going around claiming it as fact that he would have the rushing record. We just[..]ume that he would have. After saying all this, the fact still remains... Smith>Sanders = Avengers>TDKR. Both great, but there can only be one with the record.

Well based midnight showing numbers it was projected to do in te 200 opening weekend and of course once the shooting happened it did forty mill less than the projection. So why there's no way to tell what the overall effect was like a poster said above use common sense

Midnight showing numbers? Harry Potter did 43 million. Why didnt it hit 200 million? It was projected to do 170 to 200. Nobody knew what it was going to do.
