Will The Dark Knight beat Titanic's box office?

I take it you won't be as annoying anymore. 131

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.

This movie will finish far higher than $500 million, it's already at $442 million.

I think he's talking about just in the US, not worldwide.

Oh, yeah, it'll be around the $500-600 million range domestically.

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.

Is it really going to do over 500 mill. domestic? That'd be pretty crazy.

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.

Well, it could, you never know. I don't think anyone expected it to break so many records.

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.

HaHa! The Mummy.

If the Mummy knocks it out of first place, I will feel very, very bad for the American movie-going public.

Same here, but sadly the public is drawn to those movies.

Actually, I don't see a lot of people who want to see the Mummy so it's not going to knock TDK out of first place.

I see The Dark Knight still winning the weekend with the Mummy coming in second

Yeah, the movie has been making money nonstop, so I don't see the Mummy 3 doing anything better than TDK.

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.

They want Jet Li as a Mummy over Heath as the Joker? As if. Yes, Jet Li is popular, but the Mummy 3 ain't taking the top spot, that's fact.
