If you were one of the lucky people that was able to see the movie tonight. Please refrain from talking about the movie until Friday when I put up the proper thread.
While I know you will be excited to talk about it.. you can talk about the everything except the movie.
Thanks for understanding!

“Batman” isn’t a comic book anymore. Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” is a haunted film that leaps beyond its origins and becomes an engrossing tragedy. It creates characters we come to care about. That’s because of the performances, because of the direction, because of the writing, and because of the superlative technical quality of the entire production. This film, and to a lesser degree “Iron Man,” redefine the possibilities of the “comic-book movie.”
“The Dark Knight” is not a simplistic tale of good and evil. Batman is good, yes, The Joker is evil, yes. But Batman poses a more complex puzzle than usual: The citizens of Gotham City are in an uproar, calling him a vigilante and blaming him for the deaths of policemen and others. And the Joker is more than a villain. He’s a Mephistopheles whose actions are fiendishly designed to pose moral dilemmas for his enemies.

The $155.35 million record-breaking weekend intake was first reported Sunday morning and is still being reported Monday afternoon. What about the Sunday afternoon and evening viewings? Aren't those counted as part of the three day weekend take? How are these numbers crunched? Just curious.

im not 100% sure, but i think the numbers that came out yesterday were an estimate of what the 3day weekend will be if ticket sales continued the way they did up to that point. so if they were right then the numbers would stand to be the same today.
but i could be wrong
=p

Source: Media by Numbers
July 23, 2008
Warner Bros. Pictures' The Dark Knight broke another record on Tuesday becoming the fastest ever to cross the $200 million mark in five days! The previous record of eight days was held by three films - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Spider-Man 2 and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins follow-up added $20.855 million on Tuesday to push its massive total to $203.7 million. That puts it at #84 already on the all-time domestic blockbuster list after just five days.
Right now, the only number we have for international markets is $41.3 million but that will start going up significantly as the movie is opening in many countries Thursday and Friday as well as into August.
So let's recap - widest release (4,366 theaters), biggest opening weekend ($158.4M), biggest July opener ($158.4M), biggest PG-13 rated opening ($158.4M), biggest single day ($67.2M), biggest opening day ($67.2M), biggest Friday ($67.2M), biggest Sunday ($43.6M) and fastest to $200M in five days ($203.7M).
