I pirata movies, but i went to the theater to see this and when i get another chance i'll go see it again because this movie rocked. It was amazing action the whole time.

@Kuato: ..no no, nothing will help. Listen i'm his girlfriend okay? Go find your own bearded man to dance with,ok? lol.

"One of the reasons why it's so important to try to protect the first weekend is that it prevents the pirate supply chain from starting. A day or two becomes really, really significant. You've delayed disc manufacturing that then delays distribution, which then delays those discs from ending up on street corners for sale"

Uh...delay em or not, they will still end up on the street for sale. I watched Wall-E on my computer a few nights ago, figure that shit out.

@dandaman247: There are only TWO movies i have seen twice in theaters..Wall-E and Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory...I'd see step brothers again.

Carmen turns 19 tomorrow!!!

Have already seen this twice. Amazing film. I'll definitely get it when it comes to my local store...cough cough...isohunt...

I used to watch movies in the theaters online...but goddamn was the quality awful. Finally, decided it was better to pay the 10 bucks...for certain movies that is.

@Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!: Seconded, but going to see a film by yourself may be just only a sliver better than being that 3rd wheel.

sisedi

i don't see this as something to be amazed by, even I wanted to see this film asap in the cinema (so guys no IMAX round these parts) and paid the £6 sterling to enjoy it even though it was hotter than a sweatshop

Gonzie

1) This was a movie that I really wanted to see.
2) It was a great movie that had to be experienced in the theater.

So even if someone was passing out free DVD's of the movie in the parking lot when I pulled up to the theater. I would have still paid to get in to see the movie. And I'm going to see it again after work today.

There's just something about good movies that make you want to support them and experience them the way they were meant to be experienced.

you can dance just keep it vertical ; )

nutbastard

I download a lot of movies but I went to theater to see dark night and convinced 5 of my friends to go with me. The point am trying to make is if the movies kick ass I'll pay money to see it and I know a lot of people think like that.

That picture makes me want to really see the dark knight...I saw step brothers instead and it was HILARIOUS.

@EL_RIEL: ...oh wait.. thats supposed to be a private message.!! omg .. lol j/k.

@Chromeo:

yeah but the liquor store has craft brew @ under $10/six pack. how far does that $6 R&C last?

nutbastard

Honestly, I can say that I do download movies... BUT: It's to hold me over until the DVD comes out. Is that so wrong? I mean, once the DVD comes out I generally (99.9% of the time) buy the DVD and delete the shitty cam that I have on my PC. It's like try-before-you-buy, or like a demo... if anything, it has resulted in my buying MORE movies because I got sick of the grainy footage on my computer!

All hail TPB!

@nutbastard: Lowes Theater at CityWalk, located at Universal Studios, has a bar along with the concession stand...nothing too special, but when you can have a rum & coke whilst watching Iron Man, it makes it all the more special.

I'm more willing to support low budget stuff...I'd buy the ATHF DVD or Futurama movies before I added to the $158.4 mil these guys will be spending on coke and hookers.

@robinandtami: Agreed. There is certainly something to be said for watching a movie with a crowd, I'd rather have some control over who's in the crowd.

grendyll

as for piracy, the recent allowance of groceries entering the theater goes a long way towards getting me there.

if they aren't going to sell beer, then i sure as hell am going to BYOB.

nutbastard

@jkr2:

hell yea, just saw the Dark Knight for the second time yesterday at a Drive-In.
3 movies for $10, and no $6 sodas.

was it an IMAX experience? no, but an experience none the less.

djadamjay

@Chromeo:

and mediocre episodes at that. the first movie wrote a check that the second couldn't cash.

nutbastard

@nutbastard: pig latin doesn't count, everyone knows that it's a dead language. The jews and muslims killed it.

oo0EveryoneElseWasDoingIt0oo

@nutbastard: X-files just felt like 2 episodes, back to back IMHO.

Chromeo

I pirate move all the time. I hardly ever go to the threatre. I saw The Dark Knight 4 times. This has to tell you something..... if you make it good, i'll pay for it. You cant blame it all on pirating

Pepper

Piracy with this movie isn't a question. I could have pirated it, I chose not to (along with a zillion other things). Movies like this are an experience and if you don't see it in the theaters you are really screwing yourself.

The 2003 Hulk was actually a little more successful opening weekend than the 2008 Incredible Hulk.

lifterus

Saw it this weekend and it was worth every dollar. In a lot of ways it was a great action movie that happened to feature Batman and the Joker, as opposed to being a Batman movie, if that makes any sense. I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing, but I will definitely see it again, and not on a crappy pirated DVD.

Canoehead

@bobdobbs: Before your comment, I was thinking to myself, god damn, that is such a great shot on so many levels. Now, when I finally go see the movie, i'll only be trying to figure out what the heck those louver things are. Gracias, amigo.

Movie producers won't start making "better" movies, until the day that we the public stop wasting our money going to see utter crap like that new "Beverly Hills Chahuahua". If we keep paying, they keep producing.

Do us all a favor and skip the rental (if that) movies in theaters.

I'll be waiting for this one to come out on Blu-Ray. I just don't do theaters any more. Sitting 5' away from my 57" screen is big enough, my receiver does Dolby TrueHD audio and the "sweet spot" is aimed directly at my reclining love seat, I can pause it and pee whenever I need to, there's noone screaming "oh girl, don't go in there," there's noone kicking the back of my chair; I could go on and on and on.

robinandtami

Saw it on IMAX and I have to say..it was amazing! I hope the movie studios will learn and start putting money into making better movies! If they are willing to invest, we will do too!

sho38

@jkr2: I don't think that movie theaters will go out of business for a long time. You still need a semi public place to take dates. The only way this will change is if the girls get sluttier or the home theater technology gets much better for the price.

LiquidGravity

@Joseph: @thetickler: Those are "movie" movies, while the Dark Knight is more of a documentary. The only thing that comes close is Hoop Dreams.

frigg

Lately I've been going to the theatres a lot more, and the reason is simple... You can't get that kind of a movie experience at home. Bad movies are gonna suck 10x worse at a theatre, while good movies will be 10x better. Go enjoy those good movies, maybe some studio exec with half a brain will stop funding those half baked ideas.

knyghtryda

Why is this even an issue. Not once during my decision making process to go see this movie has "oh wait, you mean I can watch a pirated version on my computer instead?" entered my mind. Though I am not a fan of the RIAA/MPAA, this has been a "must-see-in-the-theater (possibly IMAX)" kind of movie from the start.

...I bet even Richard Stallman even sprung for the $10 to see it in the theater.

Hell yeah. Dark Knight = BEST MOVIE EVER. (PERIOD)

GHETTO.CHiLD

It should probably be noted that with "Dark Knight," Warner Bros had Bruce Wayne's AND Batman's combined resources to fight pirates. That is not the case when they make a movie with someone like Will Ferrell or Ben Stiller.

frigg

it will be sad when theaters go out of business. Some movies just deserve the big screen. Batman (the last two) really needed to be seen up there. It's and experience that my grandchildren will never know. The internet has been great for many things, and I can't knock the convenience online movies will/do bring, but this one has an obvious cost. Maybe drivein's will make a come back, since they are really cheap to operate.

jkr2

2003 Hulk was reviewed almost exactly the same as 2008 Hulk, FYI. Negative word of mouth from comic-con fans was hurtful to the bottomline and the general opinion, but the movies were reviewed the same. View the disparity on RottenTomatoes if you like.

The Cloudmaker's opinions had a similar affect on the movie A.I.

Shane112358

@daveNYC: "This is less about losing ticket sales due to piracy (substitution) and more to do with keeping people from discovering that movie X sucks"

coincidently, the X-File movie did in fact suck as well. :)

turi319

@daveNYC: Indeed. Piracy probably tanks movies that deserve it, and pump movies that deserve it. So really, a studio's aversion to piracy should be directly correlated with the crap factor of their movies.

I'd love to see how much each studio spends of this stuff.

Brock

@Carmen turns 19 tomorrow!!!: and an added- DUUU UHHH!

Carmen turns 19 tomorrow!!!

@bobdobbs: He;s looking at what he must defend.

Carmen turns 19 tomorrow!!!

Studios fear a reprise of the "Hulk" piracy debacle. A rough, early version of Ang Lee's 2003 summer movie made its way to the Internet two weeks before the film's scheduled premiere, provoking negative reactions from the comic-book film's devoted fans, whose opinion carries far more weight in determining the success of this film genre than that of mainstream film critics.

"A lot of people decided not to go near it. Hollywood argued, correctly, that many more people would have gone to see it, had online buzz not been so critical of the movie," said Eric Garland, chief executive of BigChampagne Online Media Measurement, which monitors file-sharing networks and is a consultant to the entertainmentindustry.

This is less about losing ticket sales due to piracy (substitution) and more to do with keeping people from discovering that movie X sucks. So yeah, the better solution would be to not make crappy movies.

daveNYC

Question is, were those bootlegs DVD quality? or cam crap?

Fused7

Yes, they prevented piracy until Sunday, at which point DVDs were on sale in my neighborhood. Though, in an ironic twist, my neighbor just started making copies of his bootleg to give to people...

Hiphopopotamus

Agreed. And if you haven't seen it in an IMAX......it is worth seeing again.

Aberroownn

An interesting note: The movies are shipped in several different parts and have to be spliced together, generally with bigger films, half of it will be sent early, and the other half sent just before the movie is released. This is for theatres that aren't digital yet.

They also have codenames on the boxes of film so people won't know what they are stealing. The codename for The Dark Knight was "Oliver's Army" I believe.

Brenny

@Chromeo: The first X Files movie sucked so I figured that a sequel would suck as well...

anti-hello-kitty

@Carmen turns 19 tomorrow!!!: Step Brothers was the stupidest movie I have ever saw, but also the funniest.

Went and saw it after seeing Dark Knight for the second time, but this time in IMAX. The beginning of Dark Knight in IMAX shots was great.

Roivas

Ah there's nothing better than cropped and flattened mono sound over-compressed shaky/angled picture, not to mention audience noise and silhouettes of weak-bladdered-people getting up mid film.
