User blog:Ceauntay/'iCarly: The Sequel' to be beaten by 'The Dark Knight Rises' At Box Office?

As everyone knows that "The Dark Knight Rises" will not just open big at the box office in its opening weekend, but it means that it may also take over the weekend against newcomers before September starts.

One of the most anticipated films of 2012 is hitting theaters this Friday, but next Friday, another of one of the most anticipated films of 2012 "iCarly: The Sequel" hits theaters. "The Dark Knight" has a strong chance on ruling the weekend as long as they can, meaning that "iCarly: The Sequel" will not be able to earn themselves the top spot, so they will have to settle second place, which is still good.

"The Dark Knight Rises" was expected to overtake its predecessor "The Dark Knight", which made $158.4 million, but it will have to face a long shot on surprising "The Avengers", which earned a record breaking $207.4 million, beating last summer's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2", which made $169.1 million in its opening weekend.

Carly Shay may be one of the most anticipated films of 2012, but it does not have strong legs to take over Batman. And yet, it may be getting a lower box office opening to at least $30 million, comparing to its previous film "iCarly: The Movie", which hauled $50.3 million in its opening weekend in late July 2010.

"The Dark Knight Rises" is also in IMAX theaters on July 20, while "iCarly: The Sequel" opens in theaters everywhere on July 27.
