Just a little fun fact.
The movie has done shit here.
Reason #1: The story broke about his little domestic thing while he was HERE promoting the movie so that put a crimp in the premier.
Reason #2: They're marketing it exactly like they did in the States, that is to say, they focussed on the Joker in TV spots. Well….guess what....doesn't help when your audience doesn't know who the Joker is.
And that ladies and gentlemen has had the following effect on the people evoking this response when viewing the commercial I shit you not:
"Oh! Change the channel! I can't stand horror movies!"
Yes that's right, as the commercial focuses primarily on Joker, which they know nothing about, and his face looks like something out of Saw, not to mention the title of the film while recognizable in English as a title for Batman, is simply understood in Katakana by them as 'Dark Night' leading them to the conclusion that Dark Knight….is a horror movie.
Not once.
Not twice.
But thrice.
I witnessed the above reaction from different individuals and was witness to a number of others who were shocked when I told them the film was a Batman movie.
