The Dark Knight’s repeat business
A Fandango poll has a whopping 64 percent of ticket buyers saying they’ll see The Dark Knight a second time, Nikke Finke reports. I doubt the poll was scientific, but it certainly goes to show that The Dark Knight is bigger than the seasoned pundits expected. Imagine what happens to that $158 million opening weekend when you start to add on the repeats along with first timers.
I’ve already seen the movie twice and can’t wait to see it again. With all the other available media and the short window between theatrical release and DVD date (I imagine The Dark Knight will be under many a Christmas tree), it takes quite a film to get audiences to give up another two and a half hours of their lives.
Yes, The Dark Knight is that good.
Today at work, I actually felt bad for the coworkers who didn’t see the movie. People had to talk about it. (Though I tend to get people to talk at length about film.) Most people who didn’t see the movie, didn’t want to hear a thing. But don’t worry, no matter what people are saying, it can’t come close to the experience of watching Heath Ledger play the Joker in The Dark Knight. I still feel this one. It is in me. Even though my review was lukewarm compared to most, Ledger is perfect.
