It's Already Kicking Ass….and Breaking Records!

Filed under: Film Flickers

Warner Brothers has had an amazing Friday morning!

The box office numbers are in and….

The Dark Knight shattered the record previously set by Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith for most moolah made from midnight screenings.

The highly anticipated new Batman flick made a staggering $18.4 million 'overnight'.

DAYUM! $18 million big ones for JUST midnight shows in one night?!

Hollywood's now waiting to see if Dark Knight will beat Spider-Man 3's opening day record of $59.84 million and the all-time best opening weekend record of $151.11 million (also set by Spider-Man 3).

Looks like it probably will to us!

      Your opinion is shit.
      You made a declaration that this is the best movie you have ever seen.

      Where the fuck are you people from anyhow?

      Fucking hillbillies and yokels.

      Youre telling me HL's performance in TDK is superior than his AA award winnig prformance as Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Moutain?

      Ridiculousness.

      I'm not going to continue with this but as I wrote earlier, I will never be dumb enough to heed you people's opinions.

      Y'all stupid and have very poor taste..

      Fucking eunuch comic book nerds who read DC comics as if it's the torah!

      correction : I will never be dumb enough to heed you people's opinions again.

      If you say a movie/record/book is great, I now know better than to fall in line with your BS.

      TDK isnt garbage but it is NOT the best movie ever made.

      Youre fucking exaggerating when you say that this film is like, the best ever!!!

      TDK is ONLY a dispoable summer flick to be enjoyed with absolutely ZERO expectations.

      115

      If it wasn't for Heath
      The Dark Knight would've
      sucked, Let's be honest~
      and i'm not saying; "Because
      Heath is dead", everyone went
      to see it! I'm saying; "HEATH
      WAS ACTUALLY JUST THAT FUCKING
      PHENOMENAL IN THIS ROLE"
      RIP, BEAUTIFUL MAN!

      I saw the Dark Knight yesterday here in Brazil and it was truly something. Everyone should see it. All the actors were amazing. Heath is up to Hannibal Lecter as the best vilan in a movie. Christian Bale e Michael Cane are even better that in Batman Begins. Eckhart amazing! Freeman amazing! Oldman amazing! Maggie way better than Holmes. Direction superb!!!! It’s about 2h30m long, however it looks like 1 hour. It couldn’t have been shorter, great action from the first scene til the end. It needs to break Spider-Man3 records because it’s a much superior flick!!!!
      P.S. sorry any grammar mistakes…

      Just got back from seeing it… it was amazing!!! best batman pic to date… heath was great… definitely an oscar worthy performance!

      Unreal. Saw the movie today and it is by far the best this year and is an amazing all around tour de force; It deserves to be huge. Such a stellar film. And regardless of all the hating on heath ledger hype; he really does kick ass in this. Better than Jack and that is the ultimate compliment…..



    26. 126

      WOW WOW WOW Just got back from seeing this movie. The best Batman ever and I mean ever. Heath Ledger was the most creepy, fantastic villian ever played in a Batman film. (What a gift he left to be remembered by.) But the whole cast was as brilliant and awesome. I will watch this again and would say that about very few films.
