Will The Avengers Make More Money Than The Dark Knight Rises?

Shouldn't it be "will TDKR make more than the Avengers" since TDKR hasn't made anything yet?

@JediXMan: It says 'Will the' not 'has the'

@Stormultt:

Batman >>> Storm

No. Think of it this way:

Will 200 million make more than 0?

See? Doesn't make sense. The two should be reversed. Going by what the topic title says, then the Avengers already made more money than TDKR.

Avengers is already breaking records here and there. It's a really really good film and word has been out all over the world even before the US release. That was quite a clever move seeing as the majority of income comes from the Americans, having good reviews way before the release just keeps the hype to the optimal just on release.

The problem with TDKR would have to face is if people will still be interested with superhero movies (even though Nolan's Bats isn't really a superhero) by the time it gets released. Amazing SM would still be released before TDKR and it may drain the steam from the superhero hype. But I trust in Nolan and I'm betting it will still do very well in the Box Office.

With that said, I don't think I will mind Avengers being the king of box office despite me being a DC fanboy.

@JediXMan: I see what you mean though.

@JediXMan: Question could also be rephrased as "Will The Avengers Make More Money Than What The Dark Knight Rises Will Make?"... Though it is in quite an inelegant form, it makes technical sense.

@Lantern Prime:

A pile of crap>>>you.

Does it matter?

Avengers has set the all time highest domestic box office opening weekend record. I'd say test passed. It opened way bigger than the previous Batman movie and frankly TDKR has yet to show anything that makes me think it'll be as good as TDK.

The Avengers will win the box office battle.

No question. No doubt.

The Avenger will take the box office battle, but at the end TDKR will win the war, the main problem with Avenger is that what make him so good, is the same that will make it old really fast.

Ok, first off, the ONLY reason why The Dark Knight did so well at the box office in the first place was the inconvenient death of Heath Ledger. It was his swan song and it basically amplified the popularity of the film. The entire film was basically all about Joker.

Dark Knight Rises lacks that luxury and while it will do good numbers, I don't see it breaking any records, most definitely not midnight release considering even Avengers failed at that.

TDKR will make more money than the Avengers, the Avengers were a great movie and all. But Batman, is, well, Batman. How he does it, no one can really know.

This video sums up my thoughts quite nicely:

Lol Batman will blow Avengers out of the water nuff said. Avengers was good don't get me wrong but people are over hyping it a little. It wasn't the best Superhero movie of all time.

Take note, Jonah Hill.

Aw :(

It could, but honestly, I think people will talk about TDKR for a longer time, and it will be the superior film, also you have to remember that its predecessor still currently holds the record for highest grossing superhero film of all time.

Joker is a Batman character,they did'nt import him from somewhere else.And TDK was technically a Harvey Dent film,but it does'nt matter.These characters belong to Batman,does it make a difference if one ended up stealing the show?

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus did not make anywhere near TDK and that was Ledgers last film.

and Inception made 800 million without having any known characters or dying actors.

Batman Begins did half the numbers Dark Knight did. Why? Because not that many people cared about ANOTHER Batman re-telling. Tell me that Heath Ledger's death had nothing to do with the amplification of the film. Tell me that flat out. Because we all know it did. If the film lacked his performance, it wouldn't be regarded as the one of the best because there was literally more action centered around Joker than there was Batman and that's why I liked Begins better.

Technically, yes, that would make more sense. But it's a mouth full; it would be easier to say "Will TDKR make more than the Avengers?"

I have a feeling Dark Knight Rises might beat Avengers, but it is going to be close

@Stormultt:

LOL! Love you too by the way..... I'm just saying Batman would whoop the shi outta Storm....

What happened to TDKR making over 2 billion everyone was boasting about few months back?

But Avengers is def. on it's way to passing what TDK made. I have no clue if TDKR will make more. Nolans Bats has a huge fan base. It could, but IMO i doubt it will make more than what I suspect Avengers to gross.

THis and theres also the fact Avengers is more kid friendly, even tho it is PG-13, you can still take a 5 year old to see it. TDKR wont be a kid friendly movie, it will be a dark movie just like TDK.

Batman Begins did less because it wasn't as good of a film as TDK. Heath Ledgers death had nothing to do with the film doing so well, his performance did. With his performance it wouldn't have mattered whether he was still alive the film still would have held it's own. I didn't go to the theatre and pay to see TDK 4 times because Heath Ledger died, I did because it was a damn good movie that hit a nerve. You need to separate his performance from his death because they are not the same. Also, even without his performance the writing was excellent and the themes the film tackled were poignant and really hit home. with people.

I'm not saying he lacked a good performance, but how many movie-goers do you think actually wanted to see The Dark Knight before hearing about Ledger's unfortunate death? Not too many besides the dedicated fans of Batman Begins and some others. It was his swan song, his parting gift, of course people would want to see how his last performance turned even if they couldn't care less about Batman (which the movie lacked in general). Take Heath Ledger and his performance out of the picture and the movie wouldn't have done half the numbers it did, it's simple. He made the movie, there's no question about it.

@entropy_aegis: True, but it's merely the fact that Heath Ledger's excellent performance easily made the film what it is. It barely even focused on Bruce/Batman himself. You take that away and it would've been an entirely different beast.

@Lunacyde: To be completely honest I find this whole internet fight over which will make more to be stupid. I won't mind if TDKR makes less causer frankly Bat fanboys could use the shot of humility (Tho if it does make less they'll just whine about the decline of hollywood) but either way it doesn't matter. Its not like making a lot of money automatically equals quality if it did Justin Beiber would be broke.

Nothing stops trolls and fanboys,they will just say that it took 7 Marvel characters(4 of them major while 3 lesser) to barely beat DC's 1.

I'm not trolling, I love Nolan's Batman films and they're far, far more story centric than Avengers was, and I couldn't care less if one did better than the other at the box office. Dark Knight Rises has the advantage already for having two spectacular "prequels" under it's belt. I merely speculate that Avengers might dominate the box office until the next lame excuse for a movie (Avatar 2) murders the box office again, due to the fact that it's been a long time coming for this and it's never been attempted, let alone accomplished before.

That dont change the fact that is the truth, no Marvel movie at this point has made what TDK made.

Also the Marvel fan need a bigger humiliy shot, after the GL Failure and all the Marvel movie making money only thanks to The Avengers.

And dont lie, Thor, Captain America and Ironman 2, only made that much thanks to The Avenger effect, without this movie coming, those would had made less money, you belive Black Widow would had a chance to get her own movie without the Avengers?

I have to be honest with you, i dont think Avatar 2 will make that much of money, for what i have heard Cameron want more plot in that one, so less money, i have to say it will be Transformer 5 the one it will destroy Avengers.

Becuase:

a) Tranformers make millions and millions

b) Is going to be the last one

c) Micheal Bay is the king of selling explosions and no plot at all.

d) The marketing is going to get better, Bay know how to sell movies, that why he is rich and Joel Shumacher and Ronald Emmerich lose money on their movies, even when those guys do the same.

Also, i saw Avengers and i still belive Tranformers 1 had better action

Also, all of you say money mean a movie was great, Spiderman 3 made more monay that Ironman, that means Spiderman 3 is better that Ironman?

Also, sorry guy still the best Hollywood action movie ever made is Terminator 2.

Also, Avenger will make millions thanks only to one thing.

Samuel L. Jackson and a bunch of mut#3r fvkc1ng snakes.

Cause i a JEEEDIIIII!!!

Already has.
