The Dark Knight, the fastest film to reach 2000 million dollar

Congratulations to all the casts and crews of The Dark Knight, specially the outstanding performances of lead stars, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger, for being the fastest film to reach 2000 million dollar in just 5 days. Previous record holders, Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Spider Man -2 made to 2000 million in 8 days. Since the day it was released (July 18, 2008), the latest batman film has already reached $222,150,806. Truly Dark Knight is the hottest superhero this year or maybe for years to come.

The Dark Knight has the best opening weekend to date

The latest superhero movie The Dark Knight has the best opening weekend to date with the total gross of $158,411,483 in its first week. It leaves Spider-Man 3 behind by almost 8 million in the 2nd place. This makes The Dark Knight as the most successful batman films ever created.

Completing the top 12 are both Hero Films, Indiana Jones 4 and Iron Man, which were also released earlier this year.

Since most of the anticipated films were already released earlier and some are scheduled next year, seems like The Dark Knight would be holding the top spot for quite a while.
