Will TDK Break Opening Weekend Record?
Unofficial: 'Dark Knight' $48M Saturday?

This number is from a rival studio, not Warner Bros. Total domestic grosses for all the movies playing this weekend looks around $250M. That easily shatters the best-ever FSS non-holiday overall record -- beating the $218.4 million set on July 7-9, 2006 when Disney's Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest opened. Stay tuned.

If this number turns out to be accurate, then TDK would need about $37M on Sunday to break Spider Man 3's record for the biggest opening weekend of all time. Do you think it'll happen?

Official: 'Dark Knight' $48M Saturday; $153-155M Weekend Will Set Record

SATURDAY 11:30PM: Warner Bros sources tell me that very early numbers show The Dark Knight made $48 million on Saturday, and its total North American weekend take looks to be $153M-$155M. If Sunday holds up, that FSS non-holiday figure will be enough to snag the record from Spider-Man 3's $151.1 million. The latest Batman installment did not set a record Saturday, leaving Spidey 3's best-ever $51.3M intact. Total domestic grosses for all the movies playing this weekend look around $250M. That easily shatters the best-ever FSS non-holiday overall record -- beating the $218.4 million set on July 7-9, 2006 when Disney's Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest opened. Universal's Mamma Mia! made about $10M Saturday. Stay tuned.

	I kind of want to see this just so I can continue to complain about how, dead or alive, I still fucking hate Heath. But then this goes against my principles because I don't want to be surrounded by nerds in a theatre who will clap for the projectionist. Lol, I wonder how much it would have made if he were still ~alive~ Edited at 2008-07-20 06:12 am UTC (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	Why would a rival studio even report a number? wtf (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mattchew03 2008-07-20 06:13 am UTC (link)
	They didn't report it publicly, it's internal shit. And they all do it, because they track what their competition is making. She was just able to get a source within the studio to give her the number. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)
