Anyone see any lines yet for The Dark Knight opening weekend?

Pistol Pete · 07-03-2008, 02:27 AM

Cant find one up anywhere yet but i wana see where the line will be. Im thinking this is going to be the biggest movie of the summer with alot of geeks going to see it over and over.

Plus read online that the presale tickets( mostly for IMAX) are about 8X ahead of what they were at this point for Spider-Man3. Thinking there gonna have a huge opening, so if someone sees a line please let me know. Thanks

Line for what?

gordon gekko · 07-03-2008, 02:32 AM

They actually have lines on how much a movie will gross? Is it just the opening weekend or overall?

Pistol Pete · 07-03-2008, 02:32 AM

They usually have a line on the total number the film will do opening week. IF its not crazy high id like to take the over

gordon gekko · 07-03-2008, 02:33 AM

Are we talking about betting or the lines getting into the movie?

Pistol Pete · 07-03-2008, 02:36 AM

Betting. How have you guys never heard of this? They set it just like a game total. Mostly done only with big movies. They will set a total say 100Mill opening weekend and you bet over or under.

Greek usually has them up as soon as anyone... I know all the Midnight shows here are sold out already... Went to see Wall-E with the kids last week and people were in line ahead of us trying to buy tickets for the Midnight shows...

If I were to give a degenerate an edge I would say It's gonna gross more than 80 since its heath's last movie ever people are gonna be interested etc.

SMALL EDGE DEGENERATE PLAY

OVER 80 MILL

Pistol Pete · 07-03-2008, 02:04 PM

it will gross over 100Mill easily. This movie will be a huge IMAX hit which is about 3-4 bucks more than regular tickets.

Wow ... 62.36% juice.

That's a good bit worse than most state lotteries.
