The Dark Knight is So Serious on the Box-Office!

Batman Riding His BatPod

Latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight, is shining brightly in the box-office. After had a smashing premiere and topping the box-office last week, this week the movie did exactly the same, and even bigger.

This latest Batman installment became the first movie to cross the $300 million mark in just 10 days! According to Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. head of distribution, the movie grossed $75.6 million in its second weekend in theaters, bringing its North American box-office total to $314,245,000, just a little behind from “Iron Man”, who still hold the title as the biggest movie of this year.

But the movie who starred by charismatic Christian Bale and amazing Heath Ledger had beaten the record established by 2006’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which hit $300 million after 16 days.

Not just that, the movie quite possibly will also surpass 1997’s Titanic as the highest-grossing film in U.S. history, according to Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers. The legendary love story in a cruise ship movie played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, made $600,788,188 domestically.

It’s a big chance that the number will still climbs up, and ‘Iron Man’ might not superhero-enough to hold the title… Hold on to your seats people! Cos this Batman is riding on a very fast Bat-Pod!!
