In response to "23 minutes longer than Avengers. I wonder how that affects the number of showings it can have per day (gross wise) -- nm" by MDH

In an age of 5 screens showing the same movie every half hour...it doesn't.

this isn't the old days where you had 2 movie screens and at most either 8 or 10 showings a day. You have 6 screens every half hour, you're talking 24 or 30 showings a day.

- The Dark Knight was arguably one of the darkest, chaos ridden movies you'll ever see in a mainstream release, and it did 533mil in box office. - Will Hunting Jun 4, 07:04 7
  - oh I know, just using myself as an example :) (I'll likely watch Avengers a ton of times in DVD when released but have only watched TDK once) - Beaker Jun 4, 07:11 6
    - I saw Dark Knight once in theaters, and once more since. Just not my cup of tea. -- nm - MDH Jun 4, 07:17 5

        Batman Begins is one of the movies I re-watch the most as background programming. -- nm - David, neutral Jun 4, 07:42
