The Dark Knight Rises won't be able to break one box office record as there will be no midnight showings in the United Kingdom. A surprising move as The Avengers, Harry Potter, and the Twilight movies have done exceptionally well in the wee hours. I'll assume that Warner Bros. doesn't want the ending of the film to leak initially overseas.
We've just been informed that there will be no midnight shows of 'The Dark Knight Rises' at the request of Warner. This is because the film is opening as a day-and-date release with the US. The first permitted shows are midnight on Fri 20th July in the US, which because of the time zone makes that about 5am here. We won't be doing 5am shows, but hope to have booking available soon.
