Heck, you will get no complaints from me...I think this is by far one of the best films to have been released in my lifetime!
I think TDK has a good start, but to honestly reach that point of beating Titantic they would need to create another stir about the film. I can't see it maintaining the pace as it is at now.
I'm not sure it will break the record. Remember, the fastest movie to $300 million before this one was the second Pirates of the Carribbean, and that movie still fell about $177 million short of Titanic. The fastest to $400 million was Shrek 2, and even that fell $159 million short.
Titanic made it's money by staying in the movie theater for a hell of a long time, rather than doing it quickly. Remember, Titanic isn't even in the top 10 in "fastest to $xxx million", but it's never even been threatened for most all-time, even with the numerous Star Wars re-releases.
I come from a Town in the North West of England and can say that i have never seen the cinema so busy as it has been lately, even for releases like Star Wars 3, the latest Indiana Jones, and even Titanic. I even saw people dressed as characters from the movie which i've never seen before outside of the U.S! And my Parents went to see it and they only ever go to the cinema for birthdays and stuff HA! It does have a shot but i don't think it will surpass that particular record, fingers crossed though!
I'm not worried about the money I spend to see it or how many records it breaks. I just want it out of the theaters and on the shelf next to my copy of Batman Begins as soon as possible. Or better yet, in my DVD player where it belongs. I hate movie theaters, but I've braved them 4 times now, and will continue to do so as long as I have to see it there. I'm just not looking forward to the months between it's departure from the theater and it's release on DVD.

We'll have to see how big The Mummy 3 opens this Friday. It's seven years after the last one; no one's been knocking down the door for another one. I bet TDK will hang on to the No.1 spot for another week, and continue to steamroll.

On boxofficemojo, it says the movie now sits at $442 worldwide, that's ****ing amazing. And the Mummy won't take the number one spot, anyone want to make a bet it won't?

Heh, you're right. Didn't read the convo. Either way, that doesn't require interpretation capabilities. It does, however, require reading comprehension competence (since you're assuming I read the convo and didn't understand it). To make it simple, poor word choice.
Also, you need the word "in" before why and the word "people" after some.
