You can make a lot in pretty much any month.Plus, 659 million is a HUGE difference to 400 something. Avengers BO run was much more impressive than CW or AOU.

Lol what? Responding to silliness like that by be sarcastic is fine. But you know the kind of thing I'm talking about: "Civil War crushing it at the box office = DC fanboy butt hurt" or "I Loved BvS = LOL moment"

What does that have to do with anything? I'm comparing TA to AOU run. Make no mistake about it, Avengers was huge. Probably the second best comic book run ever, behind TDK.
The Avengers doesn't hold up as well over repeated viewings, but on sheer ambition and success alone I would have to easily award it the best Comic book movie EVER.
So many years of careful crafting, across so many different movies, building up several different characters, and they ended up successfully tying together all of them.
Whereas the Nolan-verse came and went without consequence and just led to another Start-Stop situation.
DC can't seem to do anything correctly other than self-contained shit.

TDK wasn't released in every territory and sold more tickets. It's BO was more impressive.

The Dark Knight earned less, Sold fewer tickets and is under Avengers for inflation. Nice try Golgo.
Not that it really matters. Both the Avengers and The Dark Knight are great films.

Nope. It had something to do with not counting every ticket pre 3-d bump. Makes sense because TDK nearly made as mich as Avengers adjusted for inflation. TDK wasn't even released in 3-d.

Odd, I saw it more then 10x. I love the balance of characters and their interactions. While TDK is a better story that shit got old after my 3rd viewing.
DC can't do anything correct at all - except V for Vendetta. The Nolan trilogy was all Nolan. WB execs don't know shit about these characters it's obvious.
Green Lantern was garbage and it was a self-contained story. MOS was a self contained story (with shared universe easter eggs) and was alright at most. BVS sucked.
Not sure what the butt hurt is about how many tickets TDK sold. Certainly domestically it seems to have sold more tickets.
Internationally isn't a fair comparison because it's hard to adjust for inflation in multiple countries, and also that market has been rapidly growing since 2008, in the number of countries and in China.
And yes 3D showings for Avengers were like every other showing. IMAX screenings don't get that many even today.

Inflation adjusted domestic grosses:
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm
Avengers at number 29 with $659million, and TDK just under at number 31 with $638million. But TDK was without 3D, so it obviously sold more tickets Domestically at least.
Even looking at actual domestic grosses (623mill and 534mill) that shouldn't be hard to believe given 3D tickets give like a 30% boost to ticket prices and make up a good 40% of ticket sales.
