word on the streets is that the dark knight could possibly beat, or come close to beating titanic for the top grossing film of all time.
there are no words to describe the joy that this brings to my heart.
here are some stats i dug up at work:
THE DARK KNIGHT
Opening weekend $158.4 m
Total (so far) $333.9 (not including Wednesday)
Records for: IMAX opening (around $6.3 million at 94 sites over the weekend), midnight opening ($18.5 million at 3,040 venues), single day gross ($67.2 million on Friday), Sunday gross ($43.6 million) and non-holiday Monday gross ($24.5 million).
Passed $300 million in 10 days.
The best second weekend, passing the holiday-boosted $72 million haul of 2004's "Shrek 2."
Just six days after its release in North America, the film had grossed more domestically than its predecessor, "Batman Begins," did in its entire run.
It's the fastest movie to reach $100 million (two days), $200 million (five days) and, as of today, $300 million (10 days).
It took Titanic almost 8 weeks at the box office to get where The Dark Knight is today.
TITANIC
Opening weekend $53 m
Total BO $600 m
Titanic was the No. 1 movie at the weekend box office for about three-and-a-half months, or 15 weeks, the second-longest run in the top spot after E.T., which logged 16 weeks there in 1982.
By March 1998 (after being out since December 19, 1997), it was the first film to earn more than $1 billion worldwide.
The movie stayed in theaters in North America for more than nine months.
