The Dark Knight Opening Box Office
Looking to crunch some numbers?
The Dark Knight had the widest release opening ever (4,366 theaters) and now the largest midnight opening gross, beating out Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, which made $16.9 million in its midnight release. Christian Bale's Batman brought in an estimated $18.5 million. The film, which opened 12 a.m. on Friday went on to make $50 million in its first day.
The current all-time record for highest single day opening is Spider-Man 3, which made $59.8 million. We will have to wait and see if it can make up some ground to claim the highest weekend box office ever.

Beckett Will Not Throw In Opener?
Boston Red Sox's stud 20 game winner, Josh Beckett, will NOT be starting the first game on opening day. The other day during an exhibition game, Beckett walked off the mound during his warm up pitches with a tweak in his back. He did not seem to walk off in extreme pain as there was no limp, but Red Sox must have some concern if they already announced he will not be starting.
"I don't think we know [for sure] yet," Francona said. "But we're certainly not going to rush him back to pitch a game March 24 if he's not ready."
Josh Beckett however did report yesterday that is his back is feeling better. All you Red Sox fans out there keep those fingers crossed that his back does not continue to act throughout the season.
