What about the fact that Avengers opens with 3D? I think that'll definitely be a problem for TDKR in terms of opening

though I am in full backing of Mr. Nolan's integrity and his decision to not use 3D in his movies. I feel like 3D might give Avengers the edge (and the fact that movie-goers don't care about substance anymore: it's all about the CGI and the explosions).

90 minutes doesn't sound right at all for AVNGR. Plus I just read it's close to 2 1/2 hours long, which is 150 minutes. Jay_Beezy Mar 11, 17:48

Colin was messing with you when he said that. He linked the 1998 movie "The Avengers" as the gag source to back himself up. {nm} Jelly Mar 11, 19:01

I don't think there is a significant difference. If you give people the choice between 2D and 3D, they will mostly pick 3D. But if you DOW53 Mar 11, 16:26
