THE DARK KNIGHT RISES BOX OFFICE REPORTS

BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Surprises With A $65M Weekend; Nearing $500M Global

Yesterday's projections had The Dark Knight Rises set to pull in only $55 million in it's second weekend,but a strong Saturday has bumped up the numbers to a healthier $65M weekend. nailbiter111 - 7/29/2012

The Dark Knight Rises only pulled in $18M domestically on Friday, but deadline is reporting that Saturday's take was forty-two percent higher with $25.6M.

Domestically the film has pulled in a hefty $290M through Sunday, making it the 3rd highest number for a movie's first 10 days in release. Second highest is The Dark Knight which during that same stretch totaled $313.7M, and Marvel's The Avengers is the champ with an astounding $373M. The Dark Knight Rises will now become the third fastest to reach $300M.

Globally The Dark Knight Rises is nearing a half a billion in its first 10 days. Fantastic numbers, but still not on pace with Nolan's previous Batman film. Most of this is due to the shooting incident in Aurora, Colorado as 20%-25% of domestic moviegoers were still hesitant about seeing the film.

The Dark Knight Rises grossed $27.4M in 57 overseas markets for Friday. That brings the international cume to $176.1M after opening in big-ticket countries like Mexico, Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, Japan this weekend. Saturday’s and Sunday’s overseas tally is still to come today.

BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Hits $537.2M Worldwide; Looks Set To Earn $1B

Earlier today,we learned that The Dark Knight Rises had exceeded expectations domestically,and now the international numbers reveal that Christopher Nolan's epic finale should have no issues with hitting $1 billion by the end of its run. Read on for details! Josh Wilding - 7/29/2012

The Dark Knight Rises had a fairly limited international release last weekend, but now that is is open in a total of 57 markets (nearly 17,000 screens), the threequel has earned an estimated $122.1 million according to Deadline. That takes its current international total to an impressive $248.2 million, and after it grossed $64 million in North America this weekend - where it now has a domestic total of $289 million - that gives it a worldwide cume of $537.2 million. Despite a slower than expected start due to the tragic Aurora, Colorado, shooting, this is a good indication that The Dark Knight Rises will finish its theatrical run with $1 billion (The Dark Knight hit that figure only after being re-released).

BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Becomes The Fastest Movie To Pass $50M In IMAX

With over an hour of Christopher Nolan's epic conclusion to The Dark Knight Trilogy filmed with IMAX cameras,it should come as no surprise to learn that the film has broken records for the amount of tickets sold in the format. Hit the jump for details. Josh Wilding - 7/30/2012

IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that The Dark Knight Rises generated strong second weekend global box office results of approximately $15 million in 479 IMAX theatres worldwide over the weekend of July 29, bringing the film’s global IMAX cumulative box office to date to approximately $52 million.

Domestically, the film grossed an estimated $62 million, of which approximately $9 million was generated in 332 IMAX theatres. Internationally, the film earned approximately $6.4 million in 147 IMAX theatres, bringing IMAX’s international total to $14.2 million.

"We’ve crossed the $50 million mark in the fastest time ever with The Dark Knight Rises, lifted, in part, by exceptional international box office," said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. "Audiences are clearly seeking out and embracing the film the way it was meant to be seen – in IMAX. We are pleased by the second-weekend results and believe the film will continue to have the legs we anticipated."

"This was an outstanding second weekend," said Greg Foster, IMAX Chairman and President of Filmed Entertainment. "We are extremely gratified Warner Brothers and Christopher Nolan chose to partner with us again and are equally pleased fans around the world are recognizing IMAX is the optimal way to experience the epic final film of the Dark Knight trilogy."

While making the 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan was the first filmmaker to use IMAX cameras in a major motion picture release. Nolan employed the extremely high-resolution cameras even more extensively on The Dark Knight Rises: The IMAX Experience –including the film’s prologue — incorporating a record of more than an hour of footage filmed with IMAX cameras. These specific sequences, which will expand to fill the entire screen exclusively in IMAX, will deliver unprecedented crispness and clarity and a truly immersive experience for moviegoers.

Sequences filmed in 35mm have been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX’s customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.

BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES #1 With $36.2M, TOTAL RECALL Stumbles With $26.5M

Deadline is reporting that this weekend's boxoffice receipts are off by as much as twenty-five percent from a year ago. Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises came out on top, and Total Recall opened with a thud. nailbiter111 - 8/5/2012

From the Aurora shooting to the Olympic games box office receipts of $120M are off by as much as twenty-five percent from this time a year ago.

Going into it's third weekend The Dark Knight Rises was expected to have to contend with Total Recall for the number one spot at the box office. After the dust has cleared Batman has come out on top with an estimated $36.2M or a domestic total of $354.6M, well ahead of Sony's Total Recall which is expected to pull in a dismal $26.5M. If these numbers don't miraculously improve the reboot of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1990 science-fiction adventure film will most certainly struggle to make back it's $150M budget. If anything this weekend has proved once again that Colin Farrell can not carry a movie.

It isn't all bad news for Sony as The Amazing Spider-Man pulled in $4.5M this weekend pushing it's domestic take over $250M.

BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Passes $730 Million Worldwide

Despite a fairly sizeable drop during its third weekend internationally,The Dark Knight Rises is now the second highest grossing film of 2012 behind only Marvel's The Avengers. Hit the jump for the latest figures and details. Josh Wilding - 8/5/2012

The ever reliable @giteshpandya has confirmed via their Twitter account that despite a fairly sizeable 47% drop internationally (perhaps as a result of the release of Seth MacFarlane's Ted), The Dark Knight Rises took $67 million this weekend. That takes it to a total of $378.4 million overseas, and combined with the current domestic total of $354.6 million, that gives Christopher Nolan's epic finale to his Batman trilogy a worldwide cume of $733 million. In North America, The Dark Knight Rises has spent the weekend battling it out with Total Recall, although it still came out on top with an estimated $36.4 million. This officially makes the film the second biggest hit of 2012 behind only The Avengers.

Like I said.

"AURORA!"

"TICKET PRICES!"

"NO LEDGER!"

Apologist Puncher wrote:These morons are now trying to say "if u ad duh 25% for duh 3-G den it doo doo butter!!!". Basically, they are trying to say 25% of 'The Avengers' box-office is from 3-D, and 'Rises' would be 25% higher if it was in 3-D.

No proof, mind you. They are just saying it.

BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Passes $400M Mark Internationally

Christopher Nolan's final Batman chapter The Dark Knight Rises is still making solid amount of money at the international boxoffice,as it just passed $400 million. More after the jump... WolvieCBM - 8/10/2012

The Dark Knight Rises was always going to be a huge hit domestically. But the big question was, can the film top The Dark Knight's international gross of $468 million? The answer is yes, as the Christopher Nolan-directedfilmss passed the $400 million mark today, and it's currently on $407.2 million, according to Screen Daily.

The Dark Knight Rises will probably pass $1 billion worldwide (or it will come very close to that number), but it all depends on how much will it make in China. There is only one catch... The words is, that it will open against The Amazing Spider-Man on the same day in China (August 27th). Bothfilmss will make money for sure, but we'll see how much exactly. China is one of the biggest international markets, so the gross should be solid. Stay tuned for more box office updates.

Starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Morgan Freeman, The Dark Knight Rises is now in theatres.

Comicbookfan-V2 wrote:but chances are it may just make enough as it's predecessor (The Dark Knight) but all that is still remain to be seen.

Comicbookfan-V2 wrote:Well after checking the box office charts, yeah TDKR has officially moved to the #3 spot due to the release of "The Bourne Legacy". I was expecting it to moved aleast to the #2 spot but it seems "The Campaign" has already taken that spot (Don't know how). At this rate there's a chance TDKR may not beat out "The Avengers" box office domestics after all but chances are it may just make enough as it's predecessor (The Dark Knight) but all that is still remain to be seen.

Some might say is due to the film not being release in IMAX or possiblly the Aurora, Colorado shooting is what hurting the ticket sales but even all those excuses remains unconfirmed.

As James Stocks pointed out... Aleast the film is still making money rather than not at all!

non_amos wrote:The thing is, I never wanted TDKR to beat Avengers but rather the other way around, even before either film was released. Yet Comic Book Dude has been 'campaigning' for this film since Day #1. Yeah, I know, the film wasn't as bad as we thought it'd be. I'll grant him that.

non_amos wrote:But it wasn't as good as it could've been either. Better than Singerman, better than Ang Lee's Hulk,
