According to Variety, “The Dark Knight” made an estimated $60 to $63 million on Friday, which tops “Spider-Man 3″’s previous record of $59.8 million. Nolan’s “Batman Begins” made $15 million on its opening day in June 2006, and $48.7 million for the weekend, Variety reports.
Next up? Possibly the $151.1 million non-holiday weekend opening record, held currently by “Spider-Man 3.”
