The Dark Knight Continues Its Reign Of Terror

Warner Bros. is laughing all the way to the bank with The Dark Knight. The film has once again proved in the box office that it is here, and its here to stay. On Friday the film grossed another $23.2 million to bring its eight day total to $261.8 million. An amazing feat that smashed the last record holder, Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest which had $214.6 million.

The Dark Knight is also setting itself up to break a couple more records in which it will no doubt smash. It could pass the $300 million mark in 10 days which is fast than current record holder Dead Man's Chest. The film is also on its way to become the highest grossing film in 2008 passing up Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Could The Dark Knight become the highest grossing film of all time? Right now it is sitting at number 39 and in order to pass up Titantic which has $600 million it would have to double its box office. I do think it is possible especially with the amount of press the film is recieving. I have also heard many people say they are going to see the film multiple times in theater which is the kind of hype that surrounded Titanic. What Dark Knight also has is people have decided not to fight the crowds and to see it later. We will have to wait and see. Stick around for full box office numbers later.
