2 reasons TDK WILL surpass Titanic as #1 box office all time:
1. This movie will finish the summer with close to $500 mil. Puls they will re-release it prior to the Oscars to pump up the Heath Ledger nomination.
2. Tickets are more expensive now than in the late 90's.
And i'm glad. That movie, while mildly entertaining, had no business as the top grossing movie ever. It was a joke.

The film may exceed Titanic in North America, but fall short in worldwide terms. But even that would be enough for bragging rights. How an American-financed film performs in it's own backyard has always been good enough to claim being the biggest ever - from The Godfather to Jaws, to Star Wars, to E.T., then back to Star Wars, then Titanic.

It's going to do damn good in the United States...people will keep going to see this over & over, we know that. Hopefully it'll do just as well overseas. Still, it's doing Spider-Man numbers...no, better than Spider-Man numbers.

Yes I believe it is. Next sunday or monday The Dark Knight will surpass Spiderman which made $403 million domestically. This movie will mostly be out until late august if not september and since it is breaking records right and left, I don't see it stopping anytime soon
Yes, if it keeps up, it should have close to $700 million domestically. That's if it has strong legs. If it does just as well internationally, then not only may it actually go a little past Titanic, we'll be getting a lot more Batman movies as Warner Brothers will be rolling in dough for a long time.

I think The Dark Knight's first test of longevity will come this weekend when The Mummy comes out. If it can still manage to make around $40-50 million this weekend, then I think it has a good chance of seriously challenging Titanic. The only other movie that has any chance of hurting its ticket sales in the month of August is Tropic Thunder.
Dont underated the Mummy, it could surpast the Dark Knight, Jet Le's movies are no push over. Fraiser is not the person people want to see. They want a kung Fo Mummy, IE Jet Le.
