There are still six more solid months between us and the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, but that's nothing considering the hype started long ago. So naturally, when tickets went on sale for opening night (July 19th at midnight), those coveted IMAX tickets sold out immediately. Which means there's currently a lot of price gouging happening on Craigslist, with single tickets going for around 100 bucks. more ›

If you're like us, then you probably already feel like you've seen at least half of the 2012 summer blockbuster, The Dark Knight Rises. Between the Wall Street battles, the 59th Street Bridge filming, and the Newark Catwoman sightings, we've pieced together that the movie will focus around the dark underbelly of street closings. The final chapter of the acclaimed Christopher Nolan-helmed Batman films is due in theaters next July, but you'll have a chance to see the first six minutes of the film in theaters in just a few weeks! more ›

In a shocking plot twist that no one could have predicted, movie theaters across the nation will begin gouging diversion-starved Americans even more brazenly this weekend. Because surely moviegoers desperate enough to pay $12.50 for such cinematic treasures as The Bounty Hunter or She's Out of My League will be willing to pay a little more to escape the voices in their heads. What else are they gonna do, read a book? more ›

In January, Internet guru and Videogum blogger Gabriel Delahaye penned a righteously amusing rant sparked by a recent IMAX expansion into multiplexes with smaller, 29' foot high screens, which the company has tried to pass off as an IMAX experience. (For reference, the Lincoln Square IMAX is 76' high.) We got in touch with the press rep for IMAX and reported on the bait-and-switch, and that was the end of it. Until this week, when TV's Aziz Ansari came along with his own blog rant, after paying an extra $5 for a Star Trek screening on one of those dainty "IFAUX" screens. more ›

Internet guru and Videogum blogger Gabriel Delahaye is rightfully pissed that the AMC Empire 25 multiplex in Times Square is screening The Dark Knight re-release in IMAX on a rather dainty screen: "The Times Square IMAX is just a regular movie screen, except that there’s an illuminated IMAX sign hanging above the door to the theater. Perfect. And you only want 6 extra dollars for the privilege of seeing a movie here?" An IMAX rep tells us the screen there is 29 feet high by 58 feet wide, which is dwarfed by the 80 feet high screen at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square IMAX. To clarify, a movie can be projected in IMAX onto various-sized screens, and other local multiplexes such as Kips Bay will soon get the IMAX "experience" on smaller screens. (The largest IMAX screen is in Sydney, Australia: 96.5 feet high and 117 feet wide.) So know before you go; if you want to see The Dark Knight in all its large-scale glory, 1998 Broadway at 68th Street is the place to be. And that concludes today's Geek Report! more ›

As you may know, it's been a major headache trying to get tickets to The Dark Knight at New York City's only IMAX theater at AMC Loews Lincoln Square. The Fandango website only sells advance tickets in seven day blocks, which have been flying faster then free Bon Jovi tickets. And even when the next block of tickets go on sale, the options for most working stiffs are limited to a single screening per day at 8:45 p.m., with the other closest show times at 12:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. If it's killing you that you haven't yet had The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience yet, there is some information that might interest you after the jump. more ›

Today the little movie that could, The Dark Knight, opens on the wings of a cosmic hype that could make it the third biggest box office earner this year. more ›

At a press/industry screening of The Dark Knight at the Lincoln Square IMAX last night, the line was already halfway down 68th Street an hour before showtime – and these are the overprivileged industry slobs. It’s going to be pandemonium Friday once the rabid fanboys take over. But you already knew that; the question of the hour is, “Does it live up to the hype?” Well, considering that the anticipation level rivals that of Evangelical zealots craving the second coming, or geeks clamoring for the iPhone 3G, it’s no small achievement that The Dark Knight does – periodically – manage to meet our insane expectations. more ›

It's really finally happening, isn't it? First the Bat Signal hyped up the Woolworth Building, now the Batmobile is in town for the The Dark Knight world premiere tonight. The full-size toy was spotted outside the AMC Loews Lincoln Square theater – the one with the IMAX – earlier today. Our correspondent tells us that "handlers were in the process of covering it because people taking pictures wouldn't stop photographing it. When people asked why, the handlers said: 'Because you guys won't listen!'" Fools – just try and stop us from giving your movie more free publicity! more ›
