Are they? Just saw a TDKR commercial about an hour ago and I bet if I go to the store, I'll see Batman on the Mountain Dews. Hell, isn't HUB doing a Batman the Animated Series Rises marathon still?
They've been running Batman Begins on USA. It was on again today.
I only care when a film I like makes enough money for a possible sequel, that's about it.
Oh....or knocking Cameron down the list.

All for that too. Though he'll just add made-up footage and re-release it to pamper his frail ego.

Every 10 years...you can set your watch to it.

Oh, I fully expect Avatarded to get a re-re-release just before the sequel comes out.

Those didn't make 8 quadrillion dollars. He only does it for films that made more money than they should have.

In 2D, 3D, glasses free 3D, and that fancy schmancy 48 fps 3D that Pete Jackson's using.

fixed.
No, it's Nolan that attracts nutbags. They were threatening the life of a movie critic just last week because he posted a review of a movie they hadn't even seen yet.
Nam is right. Avengers wins.

I don't hold much to the first weekend voodoo. Plenty of movies start strong and die a week later, some start slower and pick up steam.
Of course if you can start strong and maintain it, then you got the winning recipe, but theres a few movies that are considered "big hits" that didn't start off as juggernauts opening weekend.

It appears the networks acted first...

...and? Last time I checked, there was this thing called "Columbine". Pretty sure it's Colorado (whIch I feel very sorry for for having to deal with those whackos).
And? I'm sure if I looked up police reports in your state we'd find some ____ed up ____ too.

Trying to establish a cause-and-effect link between either Colorado (or any state) attracting homicidal nutcases or Christopher Nolan attracting homicidal nutcases because of isolated incidents is reaching at best and pretty damn daft and insensitive at worst.
But the blame where it belongs...on the killer.

A man from North Dakota recently strangled his three daughters, tucked their corpses into their beds, called his ex-wife and said, "You can come home now, I killed the kids."
People do unspeakable things that are beyond reason or explanation. I don't try to figure it out, but I'm thankful for every day I have to live on this planet without some deranged lunatic ending it all. We are all a moment away from death at the hands of a stranger, but we can't allow ourselves to live in fear. I hugged my kids and wife after hearing about the shooting, and the impact on the box office is the least of my concerns.

That's pretty much what it boils down to. In retrospect, the whole "blame game" is just stupid.
And of course in the comments section we have idiots saying they pulled them because of The Dark Knight being in the news they don't need to spend money running the ads.

As bad and tacky as that seems, there is some truth to that. Bad press is still press.

It's not tasteless at all if you were even here.
People are afraid to go see this movie around here. Screenings are being cancelled all over the place.
This is what the guy wanted. He wanted to make safe environments, unsafe.
And to deem them as such, would be letting him win. In fact, showing his face, talking about him, is also letting him win. Should've buried him, and discussed the event. We should've never learned his stupid name.
