The Dark Knight Breaks Box Ofice Records
The latest Batman flick, The Dark Knight, grossed an estimated $18.5 million so far, the most ever for midnight shows. The previous record was held by Star Wars, Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith, which grossed $16.9 million.
The highest single day opening record is currently held by Spider-man 3 which made $59.8 million. The Dark Knight made an estimated around $64 million in its first day.
Some box office experts are saying the Christopher Nolan-directed flick may reach $170 million this weekend. HOLY!
Check out the NYTimes review of The Dark Knight. And if you should be so lucky, see it in IMAX!

i just saw it. IT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER.
HEATH WAS INCREDIBLE
me and my dad…and maybe my sister, are going to see this on Sunday. the only reason is because i heard that the “Twilight” trailer was gonna be one of the previews :D
how does the saying go? you are only famous after you die? the crew have heaths death to thanks for the box office record. lets hope he wins the oscar for this wonderful performance.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! OI OI OI!
you’re gonna spend money and waste 2 1/2 hours of your life just to watch a 60sec trailer… a trailer you could watch online for free? lmaoo that’s weird.
and you heard wrong, the “twilight” trailer doesn’t show before tdk.
The movie has Heath’s passing to thank for such a huge turnout. Regrettably.
Batman the dark knight was a great movie. Heath Ledger’s role in the movie was amazing. I would say that thats the greatest joker ive ever seen.
I saw the Dark Knight yesterday here in Brazil and it was truly something. Everyone should see it. All the actors were amazing. Heath is up to Hannibal Lecter as the best vilan in a movie. Christian Bale e Michael Cane are even better that in Batman Begins. Eckhart amazing! Freeman amazing! Oldman amazing! Maggie way better than Holmes. Direction superb!!!! It’s about 2h30m long, however it looks like 1 hour. It couldn’t have been shorter, great action from the first scene til the end. It needs to break Spider-Man3 records because it’s a much superior flick!!!!
P.S. sorry any grammar mistakes…
I saw this at a pre-show on Wednesday. It was incredible!! A must see! Try to see it at an IMAX theatre if you can :o)
best batman movie ever. best movie i’ve seen in a long long time.
everyone did a superb job. heath’s joker was just amazing.
thank you christopher nolan for making the vision of batman that i always wanted to see on film.
definitely seeing it again, and this time i want the IMAX experience.
can’t wait to find out the final weekend box office numbers.
CHRISTIAN BALE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!!
The movie is fantastic!!! I love it !!!!
It puts ” Wanted” to shame. Anything comes from the Pitts is over rated as always because the media stunt from the Pitts publicity industry.
Christian Bale rules !!!!
I can’t wait to see it
OMG! This movie was AWESOME! They did an amazing job! Heath Ledger did an awesome job as The Joker and he will be missed dearly. Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Aaron Eckhart, & everybody in this movie did a perfect job they couldn’t have picked better actors and actresses for this movie! Also the graphics were very well done, and this movie shouldn’t have any problem breaking the box office records.
SUCH A GREAT MOVIE!!!!!
HEATH LEDGER DESERVED A OSCAR!!!!!
I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!!
i saw it in IMAX earlier tonight!!!! in regards to seeing it in IMAX…,..wow such an incredible experience. i’m so glad i got tickets early because they sold out 2 weeks ago! anyways the action sequences especially in imax made you feel so much like you are right there watching them live…ahh so amazing! heath as the joker…..wow….he just transforms and gave the performance of his career. i couldn’t take my eyes off him the whole film. as soon as the movie ended heath’s passing hit me again and i admit that i started tearing up during the credits :( man…hollywood lost such an incredible talent way too soon :( anyways best film of the year! go see it! and go see it on imax!!! well worth it!!! i’m definitely seeing it again soon
I’m going to see it again, in IMAX. The sign of a brilliant actor, is being able to take such a phenomenal joker as was Jack Nicholson, he made it his own and brilliant in his own way (Ledger). Awesome. The crowd was great. The first time it was warranted to clap. When Ledger’s name came up on the credits, people clapped again, and once more for Morgan Freeman lol.
Maggie Gyllenhaal did her role as being ordinary, and enough of a butterface, as to not take away from the two leading men. My friend was horrified, literally every time she turned sideways. I was amazed at the lines in her face and my friend was accurate in saying she looked to be age 50.

Great post! i especially found it useful where you stated.
It’s kind of terrible I actually wish that Katie Holmes had held the female lead role.

Thanks, if that was to me.
I did not know this was a sequel to 2005’s, “Batman Begins,” also directed by Nolan. I had no interest in seeing it. I think I actually will now.
Katie blows mine.
After seeing maggie in that role it showed me just how much katie sucked in the first film.
CRAP movie! Bale ruined it for me!!!
