OK, here’s me being a fanboy, but it’s kinda news, so, I’m allowed to post this. The Dark Knight destroyed the midnight screening record, set by Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (shudder), and took in a ton of cash.
Warner Bros. reported Friday that the early morning screenings of “The Dark Knight” grabbed a record $18.5 million. Of that total, $640,000 came from the large-format screens presented the movie in Imax.
And, another really cool fact:
…it doesn’t include the grosses from the 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. showings that some theaters booked.
I’m sure TDK will break $100 million, but I’m hoping it’ll pull in a ton more this weekend. And, I haven’t even seen it yet! Sunday can not come soon enough. I’m such a fanboy!
For the actual story, head over to Hollywood Reporter.
