Really? From all of the trailers I have seen. It seems obvious to me that the DKR is kind of lame, and the Avengers appears to be AWESOME.
For DKR, trust in the excellence of Christopher Nolan.

The average person hasn't heard of the Avengers but EVERYONE knows Batman so that will take it over the line I think. I can't wait for both and I think the Avengers movie will be brilliant.

I can see "Dark Knight" grossing higher than "Hunger Games", but that`s about it.
I thought Hunger Games was a weak movie.
Did the title of this thread just magically change from "highest grossing film" to "highest critically rated film"?

Oh, and I thought the movie was excellent. Got a little dusty in that room when Rue died.
Notwithstanding your anecdotal experience, its 2nd week grosses were less than half of its first week, thus falling short under the immutable half life rule that separates the run of the mill blockbusters from the juggernaut blockbusters.
Still, it`s a long weekend so maybe its grosses in the 3rd week could fall less than 50% from the 2nd week, in which case it could have some serious legs.

Well, Captain America may not have have made the list of highest grossing film for 2011. But it sure will benefit from the Avengers release as a follow-up film.
