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!

Re: Desti – they did have the "in memory of" at the end of the credits - the whole audience stood up and applauded too.
the greatest movie ive ever seen
Oh my god the dark knight was the best i saw it this afternoon and the whole movie took me by surprize heath damn will deserves an oscar big time.
I can see it now alot of people dressing up as the joker this year for halloween.
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.
Saw it 12:01.. like most people.
loved it.
worth every penny!!
heath for an oscar!!!!!!!
MOVIE= PHENOMINAL
It's sure to. This movie was freaking brillant. Heath was amazing, his perfomance lived up to and passed the hype.
Death — stupid, senseless, drug addled death — PAYS.
I loved that movie it was worth the wait
R.I.P heath ledger
THE MOVIE WAS AMAZING
i love this poster image.
i was at one of the 12:01 showings and that movie was FUCKING PHENOMENAL. honestly i cant think of a movie thats better than this. everyone needs to see it. heath leadgers performance stole the show
I just came from the movie and it was AMAZING. Heath was incred…
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!
Best movie of the year!!!Love it….!!! Great performance by Ledger he got into this character so great…this movie deserves an oscar…RIP H Ledger.
Great actor is a shame he died so young
Everyone did a great job in this movie but the Joker was the best ….
This movie is so good!, man
it better kick spidey's ass;
PEOPLE SAYING THIS MOVIE IS NOT GOOD OR INSULTING PEOPLE WHO ENJOY IT CAN GO F*** AWAY OK???
CAN YOU JUST APRECIATE GOOD ACTING??? (YEAH HEATH'S BECAUSE HE WAS TRULY EXCELENT)
PLUS EVERITHING WAS EXTREMELY GOOD.
THE MOVIE IS KICK ASS! IT REALLY IS AN AWESOME MOVIE, WE JUST CAME BACK FROM WATCHING IT, AND IT WAS PRETTY FANTASTIC! HEATH AS THE JOKER, COULDN'T BE MORE PERFECT! FOR SURE THE BEST BATMAN MOVIE SO FAR!
OMG
Dark Knight was fucking AMAZING! everyone MUST see it!!!
Looks like such a good movie! I cant wait to see it!!
Its really a shame about Heath Ledger
had the guy not died, i doubt the movie would be getting so much publicity
the last batman sucked major ass, nobody talked about that one
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…..
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.
Amazing Amazing movie. Heath Ledger is fantastic w/da joker. A must see!!!
this movie is awesome!!!!!!!!
A lot of competitors there. That´s good =D
I saw the movie last night and wow, the movie blew me away. Heath Ledger most definatly stole the show. His performance was OUTSTANDING, yet a bit creepy ha. He is by far the best joker. Overall the movie was awesome, i def recommend it to everyone
A-FREAKIN-MAZING, YALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh, and
A-FREAKIN-MAZING, YALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brit
I just have to say i saw this movie just a few hours ago and i was blown away buy Heath Ledgers performance. The whole movie was amazing but Heath shone as the Joker. May he Rest In Peace

HEATH PLAYED A CRAZY ASS VILLIAN!!!!!
I THINK HE WAS BETTER THAN JACK NICHOLSON…..
