TDKR is tracking 31% ahead of TDK in foreign markets. And it still has China and other markets ahead of it. It will gross more than TDK and this is without the 3-D gimmick.

That should put to rest the theory that TDK only made that much money due to Heath's death.

Spider Man does have a great batting average, though; not accounting for inflation, each of the four films has done $800 million worldwide on average.
Well we have yet to see if TASM will make $800m. Looks unlikely as it's takings have drastically slowed down since the release of TDKR. And it's not even 2nd or 3rd at the box office now.
Whilst it looks like the last 2 Batman movies will have passed the Billion mark. The only reason Batman Begins didn't make similar figures was due to lack of hype and excitement for the series at that point. (The previous Batman film being Batman & Robin).
As for inflation, yes that would put Ramai's movies in the same ball park as TDK and TDKR. But let's not forget Spiderman 3 was released only a year before TDK, yet TDK made considerably more. And that's despite the fact the Spiderman movies appeal much more to the children and family market.

But both characters are respectfully the flagship solo heroes for Marvel & DC, right now. Iron Man is currently third, but what's made his success so terrific is how unknown he was outside of comic circles - in comparison to the decades of media exposure Spider Man & Batman got elsewhere, prior to their movie series.
Yes.
Originally posted by WhiteWitchKingindeed. IMO had this been the first spidy it would have done great!
ASM suffered from Rami's Spiderman 3. It's like when Batman Begin came out after Batman & Robin.

I liked ASM about as much as I liked TDKR.Which isn't a knock against TDKR.
I just really liked the new spider-man a lot.
I liked it a lot myself. More so then the TDKR imo.

as do most people lol. In general TDKR has more negative reviews then the avengers. though I don't really believe they can be compared by anything other then enjoyment level really.
TDKR should cross 900M after this weekend and has even out grossed TA in most parts of Europe, while TA has out grossed in most part of Asia. It should do about 445 and gross 1B World Wide. One of the very few movies which has done this without the aid of 3-D. And a month into this? It's at 18 on IMDB's 250. Not bad as what some people making it out, certainly ranks better than any other super-hero movie, for the exception of TDK.
The Avengers has 21 rotten and their average rating are both 8/10. There are also critics that just don't like Nolan at all, so that also brings down the score. But if you like to look at ratings, there are other sites. TDKR scored better on Metacritic than TA. Either way, I gauge by IMDB as there are more volume of people rating movies and TDKR is higher, but slipping.
all the 21 means is it got 2 more from the time I last posted because it was at 19 when I posted that. Either way it doesn't change the fact that TDKR has 36 rotten. So like I said. Anyways I wouldn't know anything about meta critic as I have never been there but now plan on making a stop in. In any event IMDB is a fine place to by the reviews. I have stayed away from basing anything on that since I discovered(for TDKR at least) the stupidity of the rating. People on that site are rating it at 10 who hadn't seen it. While people are also rating it at 1 who haven't seen it. But to deny it has gotten more negative reviews then The Avengers is just silly imo because not even going by review sites (people I come across in general) are giving it lower ratings. Im not saying it was a bad movie...though it wasn't my favorite. All im saying is more people in my experience enjoyed the avengers more.

Interesting. How was this adjusted? All total ticket sales or did they subtract the IMAX and 3D?
I don't think they subtracted IMAX or 3-D, just adjusted it for this time period. Like how much TDK would have made today. Here is the list. What do you guys think of the list in general?
TDKR has surpassed the 1 billion mark officially now, I didn't think it would beat TDK much less pass the 1 billion mark.

Makes me wonder just how successfull a Justice League movie can be if done right.

BTW, anyone see the adjusted for inflation gross of all time? Avengers is at #27 with $617,446,423, while TDK is at 29 with $595,742,300. TDK was a beast back then.
I stopped paying attention to All Time Box Office Championships after Titanic, because inflation skewers the numbers. Everything should be subtitled 'Modern Box Office Championships' & such.
The Dark Knight Rises is big, even more so than The Dark Knight in the end (didn't see that happening.) The Avengers is still bigger, even when you take into account a few more dollars per ticket due to the 3D charge.

Domestically, TDK is bigger than TDKR. It's bigger overseas, because TDKR opened up in more markets.

I always thought the "3-D Gimmick" wasn't as much of a gimmick as people think. I don't like it myself but my point is TDKR had IMAX with one IMAX ticket cost more then a normal 3D ticket. Granted The Avengers had IMAX and IMAX 3D but I read in an article a few months ago that about half of its income was 3D but only 8% of it's total came from IMAX.
Originally posted by BlackZero30xWhere I live it costs $3 dollars more for a 3D ticket price so it does add up.
