Rumor: 'Dark Dark night Rises' Prologue Mounted on IMAX Prints of 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol'?

In December of 2007, Warner Bros. attached the outlet scene of 'The Dark Knight' to IMAX prints of 'I Am Legend' in an effort to goose fan curiosity about the Christopher Nolan super follow up in addition to IMAX box office for that Will Cruz film. It labored: 'I Am Legend' supports the record for greatest December opening weekend ever, and 'The Dark Knight' gained a then-record $158.4 million throughout its rollout in This summer 2008. (That mark was surpassed this summer time by 'Harry Potter and also the Deathly Hallows Part 2,' though Hewlett packard had the advantage of three dimensional taxes.) With 'The Dark Dark night Rises' due next summer time, will Warner Bros. pull an identical stunt having a high-profile IMAX release this December? Potentially. Based on Slashfilm, who heard it from the "reliable theater (read: exhibitor) source," Warner Bros. will unspool the six-minute opening sequence from 'The Dark Dark night Rises' before 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol,' even though 'M:I 4' is property of Vital. The thinking is the fact that since Warner Bros. does not have its very own large IMAX release looking for December, the studio can piggyback on Vital and Tom Cruise having a deal that may be mutually advantageous to both sides. Warner Bros. declined to comment to Slashfilm around the story. 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' comes to IMAX on 12 ,. 16 before striking theaters on 12 ,. 21.
