IOW, you're just guessing.
When it's that close without taking into account the difference 3D makes, then its not a guess, it's pretty much a fact. Avengers had like every other screening in 3D.
Anyway I'm sure Golgo will put out the actual number of tickets sold.
I don't see what the issue is either way. No need to be butt hurt if TDK sold more tickets domestically. Just like there's no need to be butt hurt if Avengers sold more tickets world wide.

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.
That's what I'm saying. BO Forums debate this over in this link. BO Mojo doesn't take in 3-D
um Bats v Supes has made around $868 million worldwide in 7-8 weeks, while Cap Civil war has made $940 million worldwide in 15, maybe 17 days of release..

Golgo can't and won't provide proof that TDK sold more tickets because it didn't. He just likes to say that to make himself feel better.Again, Avengers sold more than TDK even adjusted for inflation. Also, TDK had Imax which is close to 3d prices.
It did. TDK's IMAX gross isn't anywhere near Avengers 3-D and TDK nearly made the same. It's only common sense, bud. 😎

List the tickets sold numbers. You're all talk no proof.And again, Box Office Mojo disagrees with you. I'll take their word over yours anyday.
For the final time, BO mojo doesn't take into account 3-d. TDK adjusted was 638 or something and Avengers was more by 19 million or so. If TDK was in 3-d then it would have made more. Simple.
I don't see anyone providing proof Avengers sold more tickets than TDK. Golgo's figures certainly suggest TDK sold more Domestically.

I think Cap Civil War could've made even more than that had BvS not been such a stinker. Though I guess this could mean that Marvel's good will trumps Batman/Superman's namesake...for now at least.
Marvel has greater goodwill and just made a much better movie.
Originally posted by Zack MTDK released in IMAX. Also, it's on TDK for not releasing in 3-d. Maybe they should have. Point is, you're making TONS of excuses why TDK didn't earn as much as Avengers. Here is the Fact, Avengers is the #1 comic movie of all time. Suck it Trebek

whether bats v supes being total shit didn't effect Cap at all, IMO
I just don't understand, why are these people so obsessed with TDKR and caused the plan of BVS? It's a good Batman comic story but that's all. The portrayal of Superman in that comic was horrible and badly affected his image. I don't think it's nice to disrespect a major character just to make another look awesome.

So how much did IMAX effect it's domestic gross? And how does that compare to Avengers 3-d?

Wow so much butt hurt. Golgo didn't say anything about making more money or which was the bigger superhero movie. Just that TDK seems to have sold more tickets Domestic.Then CPT tries to pretend he's not got any bias towards Marvel over DC.
Yeah, he's clearly not getting it. He's ignoring everything.
Btw, here is an old article about the amount of tickets sold.
Ticket sales: The Avengers movie vs. The Dark KnightThe true measure of a film's success at the box office is not its gross, which can be inflated by economic factors and assorted surcharges, but the number of tickets it has sold in relation to the population of the region/country in question. Both_The Avengers_and_The Dark Knight_are phenomenally successful movies. But again, which one sold more tickets in North America?
Until early June,_The Dark Knight_was the obvious answer. After all, Nolan's_Batman Begins_sequel was screened at fewer IMAX houses and was not in 3D. Adjusted for inflation,_The Avengers_was about $40 million behind_The Dark Knight.
Now that_The Avengers_has added more than $60 million to its domestic box office gross, things have changed a bit.
As mentioned above,_The Dark Knight's adjusted domestic take – to better reflect the number of tickets sold – would be approximately $588 million today*. In other words, Nolan's Batman movie would thus be about $13 million behind_The Avengers.
However, if 3D screens accounted for 50 percent of theAvengers' domestic box office (the percentage was 52 percent on the first_weekend), then after deducting the 3D surcharges (calculated at 33 percent above the cost of a 2D movie),_The Avengers' gross plunges to approximately $525 million – or about $63 million below_The Dark Knight's adjusted cume.
Even if only one third of_The Avengers' gross originated from 3D houses, the Disney / Marvel release would still be behindThe Dark Knight: approx. $550 million vs._TDK's aforementioned $588 million.
Even if 3D represented only one quarter of_The Avengers' gross, it would_still_trail_The Dark Knight_in ticket sales: approx. $572 million worth vs._TDK's $588 million.
And finally, remember that_The Dark Knight_was screened at only 94 (costlier) IMAX houses, while_The Avengers_was screened at 275. The ratio is almost 1 to 3.
