This
summer marks the release of the highly anticipated The Dark Knight Rises. This
film will round out Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. The film includes many
returning actors such as Christian Bale. Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, etc. For
the first time we will be introduced to new characters such as Bane and
Catwoman played by Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway.
The
storyline picks up eight years after Batman captures The Joker. He returns to
Gotham after a new terrorist leader, Bane, begins causing mass destruction
across the city.
This movie is the most anticipated film of the
year and is expecting to break box office records. Batman Begins, which was
released in 2005, brought in $205,343,774 domestic and $372,710,015 worldwide.
The Dark Knight, which came out in 2008, brought in $533,345,358 domestic and
$1,001,921,825 worldwide. The Dark Knight Rises is predicted to make well over
$500 million domestic and beat The Dark Knight for worldwide sales.
The
studio is hoping all of the hype is true because this has also been the most
expensive Batman film that Nolan has made. Batman Begins had an estimated
budget of $150 million. The Dark Knight had an estimated budget of $185
million. If any one has seen The Dark Knight, they know what an amazing movie
it is. Some would even question how it could be beat. Christopher Nolan plans
on beating it with The Dark Knight Rises, which has an estimated budget of $250
million.
If one thing seems to be certain, it will most
likely be the best superhero movie of the year. Currently The Avenger's hold
the record for domestic lifetime gross in the superhero movie's category. It
has currently made $600,377,080. Another anticipated superhero movie being
released this summer is the remake of the Spiderman series. The Amazing Spider
Man will hit theaters every where July 3rd but does not seem to be
in the ranking to top either The Avengers or Dark Knight Rises.
The Dark Knight Rises will be in theaters
worldwide July 20th.
