User blog:Ceauntay/iCarly: The Sequel to compete against The Dark Knight Rises at box office



As The Dark Knight Rises was expected to open at No. 1 and break box office records, iCarly: The Sequel may not have strong change on defeating the blockbuster hit if it could earn over $200 million in its opening weekend since we saw The Avengers dominating with $207.4 million demolishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 which made $169.1 million last summer.

As The Dark Knight Rises opens on July 20, iCaly: The Sequel opens the next week after that on July 27. It will also compete against fourth installment Step Up 4ever and the Miley Cyrus comedy So Undercover.

iCarly: The Movie, which opened on July 30, 2010, has earned $50.3 million in its opening weekend, the No. 1 movie in America, and ended with a total of $113.3 million, and $425 million worldwide. The Dark Knight, which opened on July 18, 2008, earned a previous record $158.4 million in its opening weekend, bringing its total to $533.3 million, and $1.001 billion worldwide.

The Dark Knight Rises could open as big as The Dark Knight. And yet, iCarly: The Sequel may not open as big as iCarly: The Movie as it could open between $30 to $40 million, which is a pretty solid opening for a film that cost $75 million to produce.
