$200 Million for The Avengers in THREE DAYS

200 MILLION DOLLAR WEEKEND According to Box Office Mojo, The Avengers made $200 million in its opening weekend. Wow. Just...wow.

The Dark Knight Rises

Yeah, this film is going to rock. As much as I am looking forward to "The Avengers", this is my must-see "comic-book" movie of the year (feel free to note the absence of a certain web-slinger from this conversation; that forthcoming abomination deserves its own post). Nolan tackles comic-book films with a sense of seriousness and an epic scope that is unique. I don't believe the films are perfect: "Batman Begins" was a good, but not great movie, and "The Dark Knight" was about 30 minutes too long. Yet the tone of the films, the manner in which they are shot, the remarkable collection of actors come together to make them must-see viewing. I also love that Nolan is completing a trilogy and bringing his take on Batman to a close. I can't wait to see this film.
