Uh is there really anyone that thinks Avengers will outsell TDKR? I mean, seriously?

Maybe this is a long running joke or something. I just can't fathom someone thinking this could or would even remotely be a debate.

TDKR will beat the Avengers, no question. I could see them maybe having somewhat close opening weekend numbers but I have a feeling TDKR will have a better run in the long run. Look at Nolan's blockbusters, they go the distance when they are released.

I don't think it will come close to Avatar or Titanic, but TDKR will certainly smash The Avengers in the box office. At least by 200-300 million.

On a somewhat related note:

Though it seems the Twihards are going to win no matter what...

I think it beating Avatar is incredibly optimistic.

It won't beat Avatar, I'm sure. But it has a great chance beating the Avengers.

And I don't know what you think, but I think if it beats Avengers, it can be the turning point in the whole 3D-madness in the film industry. Maybe it won't be that dramatic as it sounded right now, but still. What do you think?

Ugh.
