It first broke the record by Episode III.

It just broke Spiderman 3 Record!

Will The Dark Knight take on the all time champ TITANIC?






It's going to be a bloodbath between geeky Bat-heads vs. Teenage girls from the late 90s.
Oooohhhh!!!!

It was a given that it's was going to beat Spider Man 3...it was utter crap.

Im just glad its an actual good movie at the top now. I dont think it can top Titanic in the summer, since Titanic did its thing for like 3 months or something.

Titanic will fall eventually. I know it.

Leo is so yesterday.

Bats is the new Leo.

Just because it was utter crap doesn't mean it didn't do great in the box office...

It would be so awesome if it beat the Titanic

you underestimate the power of the BatKick

I called it now didn't I. Eventually records are broken. The Dark Knight could be the one to break Titanic's record. If not then I think it come very very close

Yes. The Dark Knight has a shot at making that kind of money. It all depends on what happens each and every week

That's an excellent and exceptional start to what should be the biggest box office of the summer

Internationally, it's already raked in nearly two hundred million.

No you're not. I still haven't seen all of Titantic. Way over hyped. Over budgeted. Boring, long ass movie. There's a reason I haven't watched all of it...way too damn boring. I don't understand how it did so well. You'd think that with all the "quick fix" and "I want it now now now" american type of mentality, it wouldn't have done so well.



...boring ass piece of shit stupid movie...

WOOT WOOT.

Does anyone think that the darker tone of the movie will keep it from reaching the 400 million mark? It doesn't seem like there will be a whole lot of parents taking their kids to see this one.


Who really knows though...

The dark tone is not a problem. The three times that I've seen The Dark Knight 50% of the audience were kids and yes this has a great chance of making $400 million domestically

I'd like to see it hit $500 million in domestic sales....really really bad.

Are you crazy the way its going its gonna make $800m at the box office. The sales will slow down after two or three monthes so it wont beat titanic unless you see it more then ten times

Batman ain't topping Titanic.

way to go Bats.

Considering we're the only ones that will see it more than once, it'll probably end up making $400 mil in the states and another $600, maybe $650 mil worldwide. Titanic is safe. Virtually every age group saw Titanic, with elderly and young girls seeing it 3 times. Also, The Dark Knight won't be in theatres 3 months like Titanic.

Just out of curiosity, how much are cinema tickets in the States?
Works out to about $19 over here.

My ticket for Saturday night was $9.

Mine was full price at $10 for thursday at midnight. Sat and Sunday was at normal price of $8.50.

This coming saturday I will be at the IMAX in San Diego. I think is going to go for $14 to $16.

Turns out it beat the estimated 155 million and actually took in 158 million.

Absolutely insane.

$10.50 for me. $12.00 for an IMAX only two stories high.

It cost me seven bucks both times I saw it.

I was going to post this.

The Dark Knight truely rulz...

Now we just await for the numbers from the UK. I wonder if they're going to long lines in theaters like us Yanks.

hmm

well we have two cinemas where i live . One with six screens and the other with 12.

btw that just goes to show how much of a huge difference it makes when marketing a comicbook film.Batman Begins was horribly promoted.Many people didnt even know that movie was in the theaters till it was already out because of how horribly promoted it was.Fortunately Warner Brothers learned from their mistake last time and THIS time they went all out and promoted it well in advance everywhere in places like they should have the first time.Result? much better box office results.

I'm sure those will be astounding numbers

Matinee's are $6 and Night showgins are $12. IMAX ticket is $13.

Tickets cost $10.50 where I go, at night

The Dark Knight has taken down another record. It will become the fastest to $200 million domestically...

Well Titanic made a little for a long time amounting to a whole lot in the end.

The Dark Knight is making a whole lot very quickly. I think it could get within 150 million. But in this day and age, it just isn't possible.

Never underestimate the spending power of 14 year old girls.

I found this interesting:

Not only does it have the Top 4 day gross, as of right now, but it also has the Top 5 day gross, despite only being in theaters for 4 days. In other words, if it made absolutely no money tomorrow, it would still have the Top 5 day gross. It's a whole day ahead.

Even more astounding, it is only a mere $700,000 short of having the Top 6 day gross, despite being in release for 4 days. Pirates 2 has that record, with $183.6 million in its first 6 days. TDK has grossed $182.9 in 4 days. This movie is almost 2 full days ahead of the record.

We seriously might be seeing $300 million for this movie by THIS WEEKEND. That would put it nearly on par with Iron Man and Indy, which are the top 2 movies of 2008 so far, and it took those movies 2 months to get that amount of money. 2 months... one week. Big difference there.

The numbers really are pretty sick when you think about it. The movie is completely destroying records right now.

AFTER JUST 5 DAYS $203.8 million domestically. This could very well be at $300 million
domestically this upcoming sunday. WOOT WOOT WOOT.

true.The only reason Man-Spider 3 did near as well as it did at the box office was becuase of opening weekend.after the second weekend,the box office success of it tailed off drastically cause even the people who liked the first two horrible films,most of them hated the the third one.The third one was just riding off the opening weekend success of the second one-which is the best of the three. Lets hope it can overtake Titanic as well.great to see it overtake Episode III.
