“Batman: The Dark Knight” Claims Another Box Office Record

The new Batman film has broken another box office record in North America as it spends a second week at number one.

The Dark Knight passed the $300m/£151m mark quicker than any other movie, doing so 10 days after release.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest held the previous record, which was set in 16 days in 2006.

The Dark Knight took $75.6m/£38.1m over the weekend in the US and Canada, with comedy Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell, new at number two – it took $30m/£15.1m, knocking last week’s runner-up, Mamma Mia!, into third place.

    Haven’t seen it yet, but it seems a little overhyped. I guess the movie wasn’t getting enough press so SMN felt it needed to help it out a bit.

    If you know anything about acting or appreciate good acting then you know Dark Knight was an amazing movie. Heath Ledger played an absolutely amazing Joker. Although I do agree that there is no reason why this news should be on a Metal News Website and the movie has been overhyped but certainly not overrated.
