don't give them that choice, they will just all go see it in 2D. You're right about one thing, it will be interesting to see a matchup between a movie that seems centered on special effects and a movie with probably more substance. This is where it will be played. It's a matchup between a last installment in a trilogy where the second-one was a huge hit and critically acclaimed with a visionary director and a movie with (probably) amazing special effects and a build-up from movies like Iron Man, Thor, etc. I still pick The Dark Knight Rises.

Which movie do you think will have the biggest opening this year? b4bad Mar 11, 13:02

Dark Knight BorderLand Mar 11, 13:02

I'm not so sure this'll break the record. Dark Knight had a ton of hype surrounding Ledger's performance, especially after his death. {nm} stevie1der328 Mar 11, 13:10

Maybe so, but people also loved it. It's ranked #8 on the Imdb. They expected just as much from the 3rd installment. {nm} DOW53 Mar 11, 13:15

(imdb top 250) {nm} DOW53 Mar 11, 13:15

I agree for all of these reasons, plus the "end of the Batman saga" will also draw in people. The only advantage AVNGR has over BATM3 is RogerMore Mar 11, 15:12

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

Phew! That's a relief. {nm} Roger More Mar 11, 19:17

The Dark Knight Rises. {nm} thatpj Mar 11, 13:56

What about the fact that Avengers opens with 3D? I think that'll definitely be a problem for TDKR in terms of opening darknightz Mar 11, 15:54

BATM3 will have IMAX shows, which will help. {nm} Roger More Mar 11, 16:34

Awesome. With Hans Zimmer's music it'll be amazing. I still remember seeing Inception in Imax. {nm} DOW53 Mar 11, 16:40

No question. {nm} MiyazakiFan Mar 11, 17:47

Tough call. I say it's between Avengers and Dark Knight, but I would have to with Dark Knight also. DOW53 Mar 11, 13:08

It will not be Mirror Mirror, that is as far as my knowledge of the matter goes. {nm} BionicMoron Mar 11, 13:19

hobbit or the bat man. {nm} adrenalin112 Mar 11, 13:21

Mid December and prequel kills Hobbit chances at biggest OW {nm} notfabio Mar 11, 13:48

It can still be huge overall of course but twli5 has the best shot of anything not in Summer {nm} notfabio Mar 11, 14:00

This last one didn't seem to have some air deflated out of it, tho? {nm} BorderLand Mar 11, 14:05

*I mean DID seem... {nm} BorderLand Mar 11, 14:05

That is what happened to Harry Potter 7A and then 7B exploded {nm} notfabio Mar 11, 14:07

Yeah, you're right, didn't think of that... {nm} BorderLand Mar 11, 14:14

Finding Nemo 3D :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 11, 16:16

Geezz.... I would have gone for GOON, but maybe I'm wrong... {nm} Lukasck Mar 12, 10:24
