Yester day 21 March 2011 whas the Dutch tv premiere of The Dark Knight, almost 3 years after the release in 2008.
But the movie be the worse tv premiere ever with only 550.00 viewers.
Note:
- The movie been cut for 1 minuut to give the movie the Dutch PG13 rank 12+ what it made it possible to give the movie at 08.30 PM. Offical the movie having a Dutch R rank 16+ and should get the movie a 10.00 PM time.
- With 2 years and 8 months, almost 3 years before it get his Dutch tv premiere. Those days that is very long, but Warner don't give permission to give it earlier and possible be responsible that the movie get the 08.30 time and the format. The movie original supost to be release as 16+ movie at the end of 2008 on Veronica (the third channel of the same company) and later as 16+ movie on Saturday 12 March with a news program in between.
- 20.30-23.26 include 5 comercials, made it a extra long sit with a movie who already be very slow,
- Since a whyle the channel send 2:35:1 movies from Warner in the original format with burn widescreen option. This means you get something simalar as with the Super-Man Returns premiere,but also on 16:9 tv it is not possible to yuse the zoom function what you normaly can do with the dvd. Stil be people with a 4:3 tv where it be worse.
- The movie not be the moost 2008 succesfull movie in The Netherlands that be Mamma Mia and QOS. On the edge the movie wins from The Kite Runner.
