This is all so very frustrating. What enormous disappointment for Warner Brothers. What are they supposed to do, close up shop and go home? goodvibe61 Jul 22, 11:19

Until I see research that shows the incident drove people away, I remain skeptical {nm} Rednax Jul 22, 11:32

Even if it did AVNGR-like business, without the 3D premium it would only make ~172 OW (according to earlier posts here) {nm} Rednax Jul 22, 11:35

Second weekend performance will give a better idea. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 22, 11:39

that ice age dropped around 59% vs the last one 38% 2nd weekend is pretty conclusive {nm} notfabio Jul 22, 12:36

You are crazy if you're even skeptical. I guy behind me at the IMAX show on Friday night said he would have turned his ticket in if he could {nm} MiyazakiFan Jul 22, 12:40

"enormous disappointment" "living hell" Don't you think you are over reacting a bit? Arent those more appropriate terms to describe Aurora, Moviesnob Jul 22, 11:35

I've already spoken multiple times, on multiple sites, about the people in Aurora. And your point is exactly part of what I'm saying. goodvibe61 Jul 22, 11:47

I think you're wrong. It's been affected, but not broken and done. I'm reacting to your extreme reaction. Most people don't deal in extremes {nm} Moviesnob Jul 22, 11:54

Let me ask this question: For how long do we wait until we discuss any other aspect of this? When is it no longer inappropriate? goodvibe61 Jul 22, 12:06

I'm not saying we can't talk about it, lets just not over react about it and also try to be respectful about it. You are over reacting Moviesnob Jul 22, 12:13

It'll be pretty darn callous of them to market it now, won't it? I assume midnight screenings are done for the unforseen future. goodvibe61 Jul 22, 12:20

i honestly don't know. In regards to The Watch, I think sometimes the train is too big to stop. I am sure they are having conversations Moviesnob Jul 22, 12:28

Yeah; The Watch is such a big train compared to TDKR, I see what you mean. The Watch must go on, what can FOX do? {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 22, 12:59

No and no. Why stop marketing the film and why stop midnight showings? This was an isolated event. skamanfu Jul 22, 12:28

What, you mean it's okay for The Watch to go on like nothing's happened, whereas anything T {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 22, 12:39

TDKR does is offensive to the public? {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 22, 13:02

No, I'm saying it should be business as usual for BOTH flicks. Things happen. People are killed by drunk drivers every weekend skamanfu Jul 22, 13:49

Even with this event, the theater is one of the few places to escape the harsh realities of what is happening in the world. {nm} skamanfu Jul 22, 13:57

"Living hell"? How about the victims? The families? jseremet Jul 22, 11:35

Your post is exactly what I"m saying. PR is done for this flick; saying anything shows a lack of compassion. They're done here. goodvibe61 Jul 22, 11:57

don't be so quick to provide final judgment and its not what you are saying thats disrespectful, its how you are saying it. Warner knows how Moviesnob Jul 22, 12:02

FWIW TDKR ads are still running on UK TV {nm} Rednax Jul 22, 12:05

I'm sure the US will be the only place where the advertising is pulled for the time being as we are a country of knee-jerk reactions. {nm} skamanfu Jul 22, 12:34

WB is right to do nothing, but send out their condolences. It's up to the people to show that they will not be intimidated by a mad man. elchan Jul 22, 11:36

It'll still make plenty of money. The extreme predictions are just out the window. It probably just impacted front loading. medv4380 Jul 22, 11:39

We could see a somewhat softer second weekend drop, if only somewhat. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 22, 11:44

it's an awesome movie and people will come...just not all in one weekend {nm} tealfan Jul 22, 12:00

I'm more curious how long until Cinemark builds a new theater on/near the site and tears this one down? The Digital Mariner Jul 22, 14:32
