The Dark Knight made Hollywood history after is topped $500 Million at the domestic box office this weekend, raising its total to $502.4 million, and is expected to climb to about $505 million by Labor Day. The Dark Knight hit the $500 million mark in just over six weeks, half the time it took Titanic, which reached $500 million in a little more than three months. Titanic, the biggest modern blockbuster, remains No. 1 on the domestic charts with $600.8 million.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros., said he expects The Dark Knight to finish at about $530 million, though it could reach $550 million if business persists as strongly as it has.
The Dark Knight earnings should be viewed in perspective. Factoring in today’s higher admission prices, The Dark Knight would need to take in about $900 million to match the number of tickets sold by Titanic. No one is complaining however, with The Dark Knight coming in at number 2 behind Titanic.
