The Dark Knight Takes Down ROTS Posted By Mike on July 19, 2008
The Batman sequel, The Dark Knight broke the midnight screening record previously set by Star Wars: Reveng of the Sith. See below from Dark Horizons:
"The film opened at midnight and that single session pulled in $18.2 million, outgrossing Fox's "Star Wars, Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith" midnight screenings which took in $16.9 million in 2005. Estimates for the weekend are now in flux with the $151 million three-day opening weekend record set by "Spider-Man 3" looking likely to fall."
Sorry to see a Star Wars record fall but at least it was to a quality film. Saw The Dark Knight yesterday morning and absolutely loved it!
