This is crazy.

Reports are surfacing that the new Warner Bros Batman film, Dark Knight, is set to have a record-breaking weekend.

Sources are estimating that the film will bring in around $130 million for its opening 3-day weekend.

And, when it opens, next Friday, is not even a holiday weekend! Even more impressive!

However, WB is trying to lower expectations, suggesting that the film might "only" make $90 million due to increased competition now as opposed to the beginning of May.

ONLY $90 million? That's still a damn lot!

And, as we mentioned last month, pre-sales for the film are selling out quickly!

We've already scored our tix for opening night at one of the Imax theaters in L.A. Yay!!!!

Additionally, inside sources are telling PerezHilton.com exclusively that the opening weekend for the

Batman sequel could bring in about $150 million or more. That's record breaking!

And, despite the fact that the movie is a bit longer than usual, at 2 hours and 32 minutes, theater managers are trying to by-pass the problem by adding late and round-the-clock screenings during its debut on July 18th.

So the main question is, Will U go watch Dark Knight on its opening weekend?

(Duh, the answer is yes.)

PEREZ STOP DELETING MY COMMENTS WHEN I POINT OUT YOUR LIES!
Each time you say something to "exclusive" to you, I post the URL to prove otherwise and show it was posted hours (sometimes days) before you. Then I come back and my posts are deleted. You ain't the shit and I love proving you wrong!

Heath is a huge loss for movies…I hate when stuff like this happens. Living to big is so easy with money. I know. I made my bed now I have to lie in it. I was lucky I guess, in certain aspects.

of course
Jaye says – reply to this

81

No I will not see Batman on opening night or any other night. Creepy clowns scare me. Even The Joker's voice on the trailer bugs me. I couldn't stand over 2 hrs of that. The fact is i'm not a particular fan of the Batman series or Christian Bales or Health Ledger. I did however see the original Batman and thought Keaton was good and Nicholson was awesome as the Joker.
Merci Beucoup says – reply to this

82

No wonder Hancock came out earlier. It would not have faired well, next to Dark Knight.
enikc says – reply to this

83

To see Heath Ledger, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greatest most talented and most charistmatic of this generation of actors !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP, Heath. You live forever in our hearts.
Merci Beucoup says – reply to this

Re: lala – i know, that sucks! i didn't know him of course but i still can't believe he's dead, he was just on his way to become like one of the biggest actors of our time….it's like talent like that has to cut short…sux
clove says – reply to this
