Batman Wins Again
Filed under: Film Flickers
Another weekend of dominance for The Dark Knight.
Despite stiff competition from The Mummy 3, the new Batman movie has once again come in as the #1 movie in America.
The Dark Knight took in another $44.8M this weekend, putting its total at $395.88M domestic.
Unfortunately for Brendan Frasier, his The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor performed worse than expected this weekend.
That film only took in $42.5M domestic, good enough for second place. The movie was projected to make $50 mill or more.
But, back to Batman!
If it keeps up at this pace, The Dark Knight is EASILY expected to gross upwards of at least $480 mill and put it up at #2 on the list of highest grossing domestic releases of all time, just behind Titanic.

Watch the guy in the backround move back and forth! Haha
(I saw this movie on opening day!!!)
horrible movie. waste of money
that picture scared the shit out of me when i scrolled down. i've never seen a moving picture on this website before. Of course it's right before i go to bed. awesome. i love nightmares about the joker.
Re: aj – Yes, but you have to remember, the population is much, much greater now, so for Titanic to still be #1, speaks volumes. PS ~ Loved Dark Knight. PPS ~ Nice job w/ the clapping Joker, Perez!
Well, Titanic came out 11 years ago and for it to still hold the #1 rank is phenomenol. Dark Knight was so good. I've seen it 4 X's now. The soundtrack is incredible. It's making bank too, Perez. Man I wish HL were alive to see how well his movie was received…
Aren't his arms getting tired? lol
I bet that asshole wishes he didn't kill himself…
What a great Joker image….Dang, I really freakin' loved Heath as an actor and a little more…
I followed his film career and I was so freakin nervous and excited to reprise the role of the Joker….
It's so hard to watch the film and know that you won't see him again in another production of Batman or any other flick other than the one he didn't complete….
Uh, I miss him….
The Mummy wasn´t so bad.
Re: Miu – He's alive in his fans hearts. :]
THE DARK KNIGHT FTW
it deserves it! loved the movie especially heath!
Saw it on IMAX. It Rocked….
Every single actor in this movie was fabulous!
Christian Bale is the best Batman EVER…..EXCELLENT, BECAME A REAL MAN NOT A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER….!!!
Heath God rest his Soul was superb!
Aaron Eckhardt- Great job at a tough role.
Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman-MASTERFUL Legends!
Maggie-did a wonderful job seamlessly becoming Rachel Dawes.
GREAT FILM….
My favorite actor, my favorite movie. I love you Heath! Rest in peace!
Seriously, me and my freind are THE biggest fans of Heath Ledger.
Re: NEWS – Proof please? I'd like to hear this one…
tht scared the S outa me!!!!
Scrolling down and seeing Heath clapping like that gave me the creeps! LOL…
Ok, just wanted to say when I scrolled down and first saw this animation thingy it kinda freaked me out!! Heath is the most amazing actor of our time, too bad we lost him. We are all lucky enough to have experienced his unprecidented talent!
Re: Nelly – Fuck me? why? ’cause I'm expressing my opinion? This is a message board ASSHOLE! not every one is going to like it you know. Retards…
lets put it past titatic. take yo' mama. yo' daddy. and yo' bald headed granny.
i hope it beats titanic. that movie was so lame.
Re: ohmya – He lives on in Matilda. Look at Matilda and you see Heath.
only a stupid person wouldn't like this movie! lol. R.I.P heath….he would have gotten soooo much money and awards…awh poor guy
Heath Ledger Is Hot Even As Joker
Worst propaganda film ever, very thinly veiled justification of the u.s. as the global superpower, both villain and saviour. The homeland security plug was pathetic. WORST MOVIE SINCE I AM LEGEND!!!
Err, why? Sure Heath Ledger gave an outstanding performance but the actual film is over-rated. I was falling asleep, it was so crap.
titanic is the best movie of all time. i really hope no one will beat it!
I really REALLLYYY hope that The Dark Knight will knock Titanic off of the number 1 spot, it was an ok movie but not a great movie like The Dark Knight
Gee, Perez! This applauding dead guy scared me nearly out of my seat! DON'T DO THAT!!
LOVE the .gif that you posted! It's great! And the Dark Knight was awesome!
surprised it beat out mummy. even though that crap got shiteous reviews thought it would be number 1.. first mummy flick i wont see.. that movie looks like a made for TV snoozer
Too bad The Dark Knight wasn't that good of a movie. The acting was excellent but the story itself was boring.
FUCK YEAH BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It wasn't that good. Yes Joker was creepy but he totally reminded me of Keaton in "Beatlejuice." Movie nearly put me to sleep in the end. Some sort of moral message? Whatever. I've seen far better.
First off, the movie was AMAZING!! I don't think it is likely to beat Titanic (people were buying tickets to Titanic weeks before it opened), but even 2nd place is a huge accomplishment. And Heath Ledger's performance was perfect…seriously. I found myself wanting to skip through the scenes just to get to the scenes with Heath in them! He definitely deserves an Oscar nomination (and win) for that…
I couldn't stop watcing that animation, yummmmmmmm
I've seen batman every saturday since it came out haha…3 times, yay me! at least I think it's been every saturday…maybe not
we almost saw the mummy but saw tdk for the third time instead
I loved it,although it did mke me cry twards the end when Batman has to be lchased out of Gotham n u realise the joker isn't alive.
Heath legdger plyed the mst intrestin role of the jker i loved it when he repeatly licked his scarred lips an he sez 'why so serious' he played one of the best villians Batman seen And desrves an oscar 4 his perfermonace. RIP Heath xxxxx
Ps I think Christopherr Bale is hotttt he plys Batman well and I think he should also be rewarded 4 his performance.
Re: Rak –
right. batman's a side character? are you joking? the whole series REVOLVES around batman. rofl. the joker is only a supporting character/role. batman's the main character. if you haven't noticed this is a sequel to batman??
Re: fred – 1.4 billion? right. Titanic made 1.8 billion… it still doesn't beat it. nice try though. NOTHING has come close to Titanic, nothing can even touch that record.
Gosh! Christian Bale is sooo yummy!!!!
bitch
See, now this is one movie that I actually am glad to say I paid $12 to see…THREE TIMES. Which brings the total up to $36, actually. Not to mention the $40+ spent on concession snacks enjoyed while watching this awesome flick. In sum it was the best $76 I ever spent watching this flick. I'm sure many others have seen it more than once, it is THAT good, so that might also be why the box office revenue is through the roof for The Dark Knight.
That is effin' creepy!!!
Re: Kit – If you haven't seen it yet, then be afraid, be very afraid. Ledger owned that role as the Joker and dead or alive, he really does deserve an Oscar for his work in TDK. What makes his Joker so great is that while he is terrifying, he is…somehow…HILARIOUS at the same time. What a brilliant actor he was. Go see it–I've seen it three times and I plan on seeing it again at least twice, once with my mom(she hasn't seen it yet) and once on IMAX, as I haven't see it on IMAX. So yeah, go see it, it really is a great film and people are flocking to it because of the positive word-of-mouth. Truly deserving of the accolades it's getting.
Batman, I am coming for you. You have destroyed my father, the Joker.
I will cut your whole head off and eat it.
ha, i saw it twice. heath ledger gave the best performance of his life
Second best movie ever.
The joker isn't scary at all.
hes amazing.
i loveee him and of course, have a HUGE crush on him(:
loveloveLOVE the joker
