TDK made $18,377,288 on Wednesday setting the record for all-time highest Non-Opening/Non-Holiday Wednesday.
Overall it was the 12 biggest Wednesday in history, but 10 of the others were Opening Day and Transformers was only on it's 2nd day and it was July 4th.
The Dark Knight Records:
Miscellaneous Theater Count (4,366)
Highest Single Days Midnight Screenings ($18.5 million) Opening Day ($67,165,092) Single Day ($67,165,092) Friday ($67,165,092) Sunday ($43,596,151) Non-Holiday Monday ($24,493,313) Non-Holiday Tuesday ($20,868,722) Non-Holiday/Non-Opening Wednesday ($18,377,288)
Highest Multiple Days IMAX Opening (around $6.3 million) Opening Weekend ($158,411,483) July Opening ($158,411,483) Opening 4-Days ($182,904,796) Opening 5-Days ($203,773,518) Opening 6-Days ($222,150,806)
Fastest To $100M (tied with Spider-Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest at 2 days each) $200M (5 Days)
On the opening 4, 5 and 6 Day records it's amazing how much it's beating the previous record holder by and how much space it puts between it and the next record the next day. For example, the previous record holders were: 4-Day Spider-Man 3 $161,401,784 (TDK +$21,503,012) 5-Day Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith $172,802,507 (TDK +$30,971,011) 6-Day Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest $183,661,469 (TDK +$38,489,337) It's amazing how it keeps doing that, expanding the next record it set by even more.
Also, the previous record holder to fastest to $200M was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest which clocked in at 8 days.

Bale always does a good job and is really being looked over in my opinion. I have a hard time saying who did "better" because they both played their parts great. That said more attention goes onto Heath because the type of role he played draws more attention to it then that of Batman.

I'm stoked. I'm going to see it again this Saturday with my family, then again at the IMAX theater sometime during the week with some friends.

Titanic was huge...but how much of that included husbands and boyfriends getting dragged in by their significant others'? But, Kate Winslet...and her boobies!!! Funny story, my sister owns the DVD, and whenever I'd visit her house I would pop in the DVD, go to the scene where she is nude, take a mental picture, and turn it off. Really all that movie is good for. "Take a mental picture." Is that what they call it nowadays? HEHEHE Anyway, I was even worse about it, my Aunt used to have the VHS copy, so I'd have to fast forward all the way to that part, rewind it, then put it back in her tape shelf before I got caught

I've seen it once on opening Midnight. I'm going this Saturday with my brother, a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a while just right now came in the store and we made plans to see it on Sunday, then my other friend and I will see it in IMAX in Raleigh next week. So at least four times, which will be a personal record for me.

Anybody know what those websites to 'Jokerize' yourself were? >> just get some face paint and do it the old fashion way you're much cooler if so. Or maybe I am just trying to justify this... anyone know if a clip exists of the scene were Joker talks to the cop about why he uses a knife? I have searched youtube but can't find much

Over the first 6 days it has made $222 million, in second place is Pirates 2 which made $183 million. And the thing is, the movie still has a TON of people that are waiting to see it. It's the first movie in a long time you can openly talk about because everyone wants to see it.

I really like the movie, although it was a little long and it seemed they were trying to fit a whole lot of ending into one movie.
I'd much rather that Two face after his accident be the focus of the next movie instead.

Mac Daddy, no, but it just may have the legs to be only the second $500M in history. As far as reaching $600M goes, The Mummy 3, The Olympics and the way today's movies work will hurt it and I just can't see it. Let's cheer for it to do it anyways!

I can't find where, but I remember someplace in this thread, someone asked for a link to the scene where The Joker explains why he uses knives. Well, I couldn't find the direct link, but here's a nice transcript I found:
The Joker: I want...I want my phone call. I want my phone call. Detective Stephens: That's nice. The Joker: How many of your friends have I killed? Detective Stephens: I'm a twenty year man. I can tell the difference between punks who need a little lesson in manners... and the freaks like you who would just enjoy it. [pause] Detective Stephens: And you've killed six of my friends. The Joker: [faking interest, mouths "Ten"] Do you wanna know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the...little..emotions. And..you see..in their last moments...people show you who they really are. So, in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which one of them were cowards?

Does he really look like a guy who keeps track of things?
