110m seems enough for 300m total.

Not only as you mentioned weekday numbers in July and early August will be very good for DK but it's also going to have huge IMAX business.

What film after Dark Knight will take over its IMAX screens? It's going to be riding on IMAX for quite awhile.

thats what saved superman...

Indeed otherwise it would have done $150 million only.

he meant for x-files...

He's talking about X-Files. I'm sure you'd love it if he's talking about TDK though!

It's going to get 40m OW and end up having a Titanic type of performance since everyone and their moms is going to love it. Expect about 550m total domestic, about 10x the amount Incredible Hulk will make.

OW or OD? If it's OW, you're out of your mind.

I think he's talking about X-Files.

Actually its the other way around you are totally overestimating the Hulk. The Hulk is not going to beat Iron Man and it sure as hell isn't going to outgross Indiana Jones. The Hulk will be lucky to get to 200 which the Dark Knight will pass.

The brewing media superstorm...

super kewl

Batman is so sexy



$400m+!!!

Screw the fanboys, I'm glad Nolan is putting a big fat creative stamp on the Batman mythos with his version of the Joker. Make-up instead of white skin = brilliant.

no doubt.

This Joker may become one of the most chilling performances we shall ever see.

The way he says certain things is definitely creepy. Like "Hello beautiful." Total pedophile whackjob!

LMAO, indeed, dark knight joker is going to be the definition of demented.

bkb i dont understand why hulk n tdk cant just both be huge hits...why is it a competition???

BKB = Troll
BKB = Batman H8ter (Nolans)
BKB = Hulk Lover (I guess hes got a fetish for green men.)

Christian Bale 'Wanted to Share' Dark Knight with Heath Ledger
http://www.people.com/people/article/0, ... -yahoobuzz

Dark Knight star Christian Bale recalls his costar Heath Ledger as "intense" and "anarchistic" on the set of the set of the late actor's last movie.

"He was incredibly intense in his performance, but incredibly mellow and laid-back. Certainly there was this great anarchistic streak to it – just getting dirtier than anybody's envisioned the Joker before," Bale, 34, tells Details magazine.

Ledger died on Jan. 22 of a prescription-drug overdose at the age of 28. And Bale laments that the film "was something I wanted to share with him – and expected to do so."

"And I can't do anything else but hope that it will be an absolutely appropriate celebration of his work," he says. In earlier interviews, Bale commended Ledger on doing "one hell of a job."

Bale adds that he almost never donned the Batsuit at all because of a deep-seated fear in closed spaces.

"[I was] just thinking, 'This isn't going to work. I'm claustrophobic, I can't breathe, I'm getting a headache already, and this is all going to go very badly,'" he says.

But once he overcame his claustrophobia, the actor says, he went on to cheerfully perform much more dangerous feats.

"I was standing on the corner of the Sears Tower, on the outside, 110 stories up. I felt quite oblivious to it ... not fully aware that the blades were actually just feet from my head," he says.
