For the second time in just 10 days “The Dark Knight” has rewritten box-office record books after crushing “Spider Man 3′s” box-office opening record of $151.1 million by more than $7 million last week, and now being the fastest film ever to clear the $300 million mark. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” previously held the record after reaching the mark in 16 days but “The Dark Knight” did so in just 10 days after grossing $75.6 million on its second weekend.
With all the records its setting perhaps “The Dark Knight” will even come close to “Titanic’s” all time box office total revenue high of $600.8 million. With the way its going its even almost surely going to top “Star War’s” total revenue of $461 million.
So far with repeat customers being the trend it seems that “The Dark Knight” will be holding the number one spot at the box office for a few more weeks.
