Thats not true at all. The movie made a bundle in its first week and dropped 55% in its 2nd weekend and its 3rd weekend dropped a further 38.5%. Why? Cause the movie turned some parents off to bringing their kids cause of the "sexual content" (the scene by the fireplace) and violence. The other children and parents saw it and didnt go back a second time like they did with Spider Man OR They didnt go at all cause it got panned by the critics and every comic book fan and Daredevil fan I know said the movie was right on with being dark but that they were turned off by the casting of Dardevil and therefore would not see the movie again. This movie could've been opened July 4th weekend and it still would've made $100,679,927 ($69,000,000 overseas). To most movies that would be a rousing success..to the high expectations of a comic book legend like Daredevil thats an average box office pull. Believe me..I've been following the box office charts for longer than I can remember and I shit you not when I say this was a bomb to standard no matter what season it opened
