| | Posted: | | | | From Deadline Hollywood.... Quote:
FRIDAY PM: Very early numbers show Warner Bros' The Dark Knight continues to drive the North American box office and grossed a whopping $23 million Friday from 4,366 theaters. That's down only 67% from its record-smashing debut a week ago. With an expected $73 million weekend, the actioner is also well on its way to making $300M in just 10 days, the fastest ever (beating Pirates Of The Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest which did it is 16 days). All anybody can do at the studios is keep repeaing the word, "Amazing". And it is. There are even starting to be whispers whether Dark Knight can beat the incredible worldwide numbers posted by the all-time $1.8 billion benchmark of Titanic. "It can be the first movie that has a real shot," one rival studio bigwig told me cautiously. Because not only do people like the movie, but it's getting incredible repeat business. Even occasional moviegoers are curious to see what all the fuss is about. | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

| | Posted: | | | | I heard it's now already over $300 Million.
I am just watching the first one "Batman Begins". I don't know why but I've never watched it before. It's a great movie though, and as soon as the "Dark Knight" will open in Austria, which is August 21st, I will go and watch it.
I only went to two movies this year "Indy 4" (great) "X-Files: I want to believe" (very bad).
"The Dark Knight" and "the Mummy" are the other 2 I am gonna watch for sure. | | | | Check out my Youtube channel under https://www.youtube.com/user/alittleolder |
