There's certainly nothing dark about Batman's first night at the box office."The Dark Knight" lit up cash registers during its midnight debut, stealing away with a record $18.5 million from 3,040 theatres, distributor Warner Bros. said Friday.
Holy crap!
That's just one viewing of the movie alone in the US only! I can bet my life that in less than 7 days this movie will make over a $100 million.
** UPDATE **
Batman has sent Spidey packing as king of Hollywood’s box-office superheroes.‘The Dark Knight’ took in a record US$155.34 million in its first weekend, topping the previous best of $151.1 million for ‘Spider-Man 3’ in May 2007 and pacing Holly to its biggest weekend ever, according to studio estimates Sunday.wood
“We knew it would be big, but we never expected to dominate the marketplace like we did,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., which released ‘The Dark Knight.’ The movie should shoot past the $200 million mark by the end of the week, he said.
