TDKR opened to sold out crowds today.Unfortunately the shootout at Colorado has made this day a dark day indeed.Atleast 12 died and more than 50 were injured in the horrible shootout.
Still TDKR made the second highest collection from midnight shows on debut with $30.6 million.In comparison ,The Avengers made $18.7 million on its midnight debut.The first place is held securely by Harry Potter 7 Part 2( $43.5million )
With such an opening ,TDKR was expected to reach Avengers opening record ,but due to the Collarado incident it may affect TDKR heavily.
Meanwhile on Rottentomatoes ,TDKR is at 86% (181+/30-) ,with a strong 94% audience rating
Christopher Nolan's statement on the horrific tragedy in Colorado:
"Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of 'The Dark Knight Rises,' I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community. I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie. I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. The movie theater is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me. Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families."
