Reports from The Hollywood Reporter on Monday estimate weekend box office sales at or above $160 million for "Dark Knight Rises." The number would be a record opening weekend for 2-D films, with "The Avengers" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2" selling $207.4 million and $169.2 million, respectively, as 3-D features.
Official revenue reports are being withheld by Time Warner -- as well as peers Sony (NYSE: SNE), Fox (of News Corp (Nasdaq: NWSA)), Universal, Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), and Paramount -- following the tragic Aurora, CO, shoots, which happened in the early morning hours of July 20th.
