Mission Accomplished

The Dark Knight is the new box office king.

Exceeding initial expectations, the film went on to shatter records left and right this weekend.

The most notable: the new Batman film is now the biggest debut ever in U.S. box office history, especially impressive for an opening on a non-holiday weekend.

The Dark Knight took in $155.34 million Fri-Sun.

That bests Spider-Man 3's 151.1 million in 2007.

Did U see the film???

Thoughts????

not is supposed to be now? proof reading is good.
kate says – reply to this

55

did you mean to say it WAS the biggest opening?

the movie was awesome. it deserves the praise. i went into it not wanting to buy into the hype about the joker because i feel like most of it is only coming from people who need to say something good about heath because he's dead. but he really was great. i liked his joker much more than jack nicholson's campy version.
girl says – reply to this

56

LOVED IT!!!
Chi says – reply to this

57

I thought I was freaking awesome! The ending was surprising for me too, but maybe because I don't have previous knowledge of Batman. XD
jenna says – reply to this

58

it is the most amazing movie ive ever seen. if you haven't seen it yet. go now. heath is absolutely beautiful in it.
crist says – reply to this

59

i saw it on the midnight opening, i LOVED it! strong plot that supports the unbelievable sfx, excellent performances (especially by heath ledger, of course, who delivers the most disturbing villain ever), and overall, incredible entertainment.
Kel says – reply to this

60

I was extremely disappointed. Heath Ledger was awesome but the rest of the movie sucked in my opinion…… especially the end. WTF?!?!

How can Sunday figures be in when it is SUNDAY now….geez, I know the industry estimates everything from here to eternity but this is ridiculous.
Alexe says – reply to this

Bad-Fucking-Ass. The joker was the best villain ever, exceeding the horror of even Hannibal Lector. Wow, I was blown away.

evie says – reply to this

75

Deep, dark, delicious film. True, Heath was frightening, what a hideous role, so well AMAZING. Christian Bale was no slouch either. Found film depressing, and hopeless.
WTF? says – reply to this

76

HATERS……. Who cares if Perez made a mistake? Shit… nobody is perfect.
jemms says – reply to this

77

SO SAD that Heath isnt here to enjoy this.
Ashtr says – reply to this

78

Instead od the word *not* did you mean to put in the word *now*? Had to reread that sentence 8 times after i saw the figures.

Nemo says – reply to this

84

Okay, saw this movie on the midnight showing and thought it was fucking amazing! Definately my favorite movie now. All the performances were riveting except Maggie Gyllenhall. The movie was so intense and I loved the "Disappearing pencil" scene. And Christian Bale is one fucking hot Batman. This is Heath Ledger's greatest performance.
Graha says – reply to this

85

Love love loved it~!~!~ Heath did an amazing job he totally made the movie
shawn says – reply to this

86

Dark Knight was fucking sweet! Ledger was phemonal as the Joker! He brough the charcter to life. your review was shit! This movie was the best Batman ever. Its truly no wonder why this role killed Heath. The Joker is a serial killing mad man and Leger brough him to lofe in screen. RIP Heath Leger! He derserves the Oscar!
FSUheather says – reply to this

87

i loved it. heath ledger was AMAZING. It was so disturbing that I could not imagine his state of mind while playing the joker. BEST VILLAIN OF ALL TIME.
alrmw says – reply to this

88

I sure did and it was amazing and Heath lived up to the hype. He was amazing and not just because he died, but mainly because he lived.

91

NOT the biggest? or NOW the biggest? I think you should spend and extra minute proof reading your posts before you put them up!
Wha?? says – reply to this

92

Re: yo co – The only thing that's WAY TOO BIG about Perez is his ego and his fat, overfucked asshole!!!!

AMAAAZZZINNNGGGGG
Julia says – reply to this

94

Do they take into account ticket price inflation? I am under the impression that they don't; they just count the total $$$ amount which is not an accurate way to measure the size of the audience.
krist says – reply to this

95

i was a bit dissappointed heath ledger was great though RIP
Richa says – reply to this

96

Can somebody please explain this 'first nonsense'. Why do people write 'first' when they are clearly not? I don't get it!
April** says – reply to this

97

Aaron Echart was really underrated in this movie.
