Before the tragedy, “Dark Knight Rises” was expected to make around $190 million, according to the New York Times. The film also stood a serious chance at taking the record for highest grossing movie opening of all time - a spot currently held by “The Avengers,” which opened at $207.5 million. Early reports indicate that "Dark Knight Rises" fell slightly short of estimates, taking $160 million in ticket sales. The comic book caper had the benefit of advanced ticket sales, with some Friday night showings already sold out before the shooting occurred.
