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.

Batman The Dark Knight Review
Last night was crazy. Theater was packed by eleven thirty and for a good reason. In my opinion, Batman The Dark Knight, was one of the best movies I have seen since the first one was released. However I am not sure which of the two Batman movies I like better.
The new gadgets, vehicle, and body armor were all sick but I feel like Christian Bale was a bigger and better badass in the first movie.
Heath Ledger plays an award winning role as the Joker! He studied how Jack Nicholson created the character and one-uped him. Heath Ledger is by far the better Joker, expect him to receive many awards for this role, as he brought this insane head case to life.
The movie was everything you could expect. Good story, surprise, little humor and a lot of action.
Even if you are not a movie buff like myself I recommend taking the time to see The Dark Knight in theaters. It is well worth the 10 dollars and two and half hours.
