"Dark Knight" sets box office records.
Eric M \| 8:06 PM on 07.20.2008	30 comments

I'm sure this is no suprise to anyone, but The Dark Knight (155.34 million) has unseated Spider- Man 3 (151.1 million) for the best openeing weekend reports the Los Angeles Assoiciated Press. The record is attributed to the buzz surrounding the death of actor Heath Ledger who plays Batman's arch-nemisis The Joker. The movie was hailed by critics across the nation, and Oscar buzz is in the air for the deceased Ledger. The Dark Knight also set the record for top single-day movie gross as well bringing in 66.4 million for the movie's Friday debut. Once again topping [i]Spider- Man 3(59.4 million).

I personally am glad to see the movie well recieved and a big hats off to a very talented actor. Rest In Peace Heath you will be missed.

Until Next Time

Eric

Best. Movie. Ever.

And there's no exaggeration there.

Electro Lemon

Zombutler

why sO SeRiOUs???? hAHahAAHAHAhohoHAhooHAhOOhAAhHAA

manasteel88

gotta say this was the best comic movie I've ever seen. It actually had great plot twists!

Ledger was fantastic. I understand the oscar buzz.

Bale was still a very awkward batman, but I didn't come to see batman so that didn't ruin anything for me. I came to see the Joker.

WastelandTraveler

I really must see this movie..

Puppetpallmich

i fucking love the dark night best comic movie ever

liam2015

From Yahoo!
Ledger, who died in January from an accidental prescription-drug overdose, played the Joker as a demonic presence, his performance prompting predictions that the role might earn him a posthumous Academy Award nomination

I will be genuinely pissed if doesn't. He truly does deserve it, his portrayal of The Joker was beyond words.

covah

And it's number #1 on the IMDB 250 top movies.

007

...Would have sold more tickets if George Clooney was in it.

madninja

I love that musical.

007

007

Puppet, go back to 4chan.

Also... I want to see the Dark Knight sooooo badly.

It's kinda like the Nobel Peace Prize for me. Because I'd kill for both....

MrSadistic

Yeah movie of the year, I say. Probably one of my all-time favorites now.

But uh yeah, wow. Slow news day much?

dephect

I just watched this movie.. about 10 mins ago, epic.

Skribble

I went to see it last night, Sunday, 8.30..."everyone has work tomorrow, nobody will be here" I thought to myself.

Only to rock up to the cinema and find that it is absolutely packed, and that every showing for the rest of the night is sold out, same for Hancock, which I was planning to see if Dark Knight was sold out.

Fucking lame.

Im going to see this movie tonight, I have very high expectations after hearing all of the reviews for this movie.

cjpkiller

that movie was AMAZING

CodenameV

Excellent movie, Heath Ledger did a truly amazing job.

van

i saw it at an Imax theater.
was good.

Electro Lemon

From the theatre I saw TDK at:

Note: I took this photo on Saturday.

Crunshii

This movie, will join my blueray collection. a +100. seriously, best movie ever.

Clockwork

@Cobra

DOLPHINS AND WHALES? YES PLEASE.

Twisted Imp

I understand Ledger played a great role and I understand he is dead and should get some respect, but can everybody please stop praising this movie for Joker? I mean I understand Ledger was fucking amazing, but all the other characters played an awesome role as well, I like Bale a lot more, Eckhart turned out to be pretty rad and even Gary Oldman kicked ass. It was a masterpiece of a movie and shouldn't just be looked at for having that one awesome Joker who just happens to not be alive.

Crumpet Lips

One of my favourite movies of all time, purely because of Ledgers flawless performance. Just AMAZING.

Seeing the movie again next week, will buy it on DVD or Bluray as well once it comes out

skoomaster

I LOve how the Joker makes things disappear. (pencils)

Char Aznable

@Twisted Imp

Yeah, agreed. Ledger was incredible and deserves so much praise, but the entire cast was great. Gary Oldman was flawless as Gordon, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine stole their scenes with a few well-placed zingers, and I actually liked Aaron Eckhart for once.

Maggie Gyllenhall, not so much. I was very pleased with the fate of Rachel Dawes.
