I bet it makes more. It was already on track to be a big earner. Now you couldn't pay a Madison Ave. company or other PR agents a large enough fee to keep a product's name in front of the public 24/7 for 3 1/2 days the way the Colorado Massacre has.

Millions of people who had no intention of seeing "The Dark Knight Rises": will now feel compelled top see it.

There's an old saying in show business........


There's no such thing as bad publicity.

All true, and in this case, it’s a good thing. Just came back from the film and it is 100% anti-Occupy Wall Street. Nolan clearly portrays the path by evil and jealous people decide that everything belongs to “the people,” which always means them. Hathaway’s Catwoman, who begins the film with the same sentiments, well let just say she matures. I don’t think I’ve seen a film as pro-capitalist as this one other than Atlas Shrugged. So if more people see it, goodie.
