The Dark Knight Rises had fared pretty well in Indian Cinema especially in South India surpassing many Bollywood Releases this Friday like, Challo Driver, Gattu and Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai.
The Dark Knight Rises opened to a 80-85% response on average, at places it was 100% and at places 50-60% where Hollywood films tend to get lower openings. The opening is on par with The Amazing Spiderman in terms of occupancies but it’s release is not as wide as The Amazing Spiderman
Earlier it had taken a huge advance especially in South India. The advance was better than the Amazing Spiderman in Bangalore and Chennai. Urvashi in Bangalore, Satyam and Ega in Chennai are almost for the first day.
The film may challenge The Amazing Spiderman records at many places across the country. It could be that the English version of The Dark Knight scores over The Amazing Spiderman while the dubbed versions remain lower.
Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc, said the film took in $30.6 million at screenings just after midnight, but those results could turn lower in the wake of a mass shooting at one showing of the movie in a Denver suburb.
Warner Bros. issued the midnight box office number but had no further comment. It is the second highest midnight screening total ever, behind 2011’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part II,” which raked in $43.5 million in its midnight screenings.
