According to the AP, “The Dark Knight” cleared $18.5 million at midnight screenings, beating the record of $16.9 million by “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith.”
The people I talked to last night all seemed pumped, both before and after the film, so I think this film is going to have some legs. It’s not out of the question at all that this could become the highest-grossing Batman film ever and the highest grossing film of the year.
