TDK " The Dark Knight "

WEEKEND BOX-OFFICE

A round of applause for TDK!

Well, nobody can say that we didn't see this coming, but in all honestly, I didn't think THE DARK KNIGHT had the kind of "general appeal" that would smash all-time box-office records, but I was wrong as hell, as TDK opened with $155M in its first three days of release, besting SPIDER-MAN 3's previous record of $151M (see all-time list of biggest opening HERE). Just as a reminder, 2005's BATMAN BEGINS only opened with $48M and went on to gross $205M, which is probably what TDK will have made by next weekend!
