The Dark Knight Does it Again!

According to the weekend estimates over at Box Office Mojo, The Dark Knight has swooped in and sky-hooked a massive 2nd weekend total of $75.6 million. That puts The Dark Knight's total domestic gross at $314 million in 10 days, making it the fastest to reach the $300 million mark and taking the title away from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest which did it in 16 days. The Dark Knight now also holds the record for highest grossing 2nd weekend ousting Shrek 2's record of $72.17 million!

As The Dark Knight eyes the fastest to $400 million, I can't help but hope that it will go all the way and take the All-Time Gross record away from Titanic. Wesley mentioned in an earlier post, that what makes The Dark Knight's accomplishments so amazing and special, is that we actually now have a deserving movie holding all of the records. What better way is there to end the run than by taking away the title from the least deserving movie of them all? Titanic's domestic gross sits at a little over $600 million, while its total worldwide gross is complete at an untouchable $1.8 billion.

We can only hope for the best as The Dark Knight's worldwide gross currently rests at $440 million with still plenty of room to grow.
