- phore, on 07/19/2008, -3/+147good, spiderman 3 was a joke
- flyingspatula, on 07/19/2008, -6/+95With rising ticket prices, this stat is skewed. I'd like to see records talking about #seats sold. That's meaningful.
- Genshinx, on 07/19/2008, -1/+79It deserves it, one of the best films I've seen in awhile.
- IbbyIbby, on 07/19/2008, -2/+77Dark Knight is coming for Titanic numbers.
- einrobstein, on 07/19/2008, -1/+68Emo dance.
- LucerinRed, on 07/19/2008, -1/+57Hurray, A film setting this record that actually deserves it, unlike it's trashy predecessor, Spiderman 3
- mycatsasha, on 07/19/2008, -1/+40Spiderman 3 made me gag.
"Tell me you love me again, Peter!" - bliks, on 07/19/2008, -2/+38Thats a very valid point.
- LemmingJesus, on 07/19/2008, -2/+30Almost too valid...
- bejayel, on 07/19/2008, -1/+29MORE proof that the MPAA are ***** morons!
Make good movies and they will come! - SuperJimmyJimbo, on 07/19/2008, -0/+27nonononono nooooo!
- alexdeeley, on 07/19/2008, -4/+30"Stoked by fan fever over the manic performance of the late Heath Ledger as the Joker..."
I think that statement misrepresents what makes this film so phenomenally wonderful. While Heath's performance is absolutely brilliant, it's a drop in the bucket of the genius in The Dark Knight. - Mootabolife, on 07/19/2008, -2/+26I'll never let go Heath...
- Zippo, on 07/19/2008, -0/+21Christen Bale is an amazing Batman... his voice as Batman is so gritty you can feel it. It's like he's gargling rocks - I love it.
- Draculecom, on 07/19/2008, -11/+31Another Dark Knight story. Guess it beats the usual iPhone bitches.
- Nubli, on 07/19/2008, -2/+19(//_v) Emoman 3 is more like it.
- eraofk00l, on 07/19/2008, -1/+17Totally expected. Could've had more. But $66.4 is great.
"I can make this pencil disappear" - chukd, on 07/19/2008, -2/+18Of course it is. Anyone that saw Spiderman 3 knows how completely horrible and waste of film it is.
- inactive, on 07/19/2008, -1/+16I can't believe I paid nearly $10 for a soda and popcorn. But the movie definitely made it worthwhile.
- Epik, on 07/19/2008, -1/+14I think the rest of TDK was pretty good for modern comic book action flicks but Heath just took it to a whole new level. The Joker is the only reason I'm going to see it again in IMAX tomorrow. Without him, I wouldn't bother watching it twice in theaters.
- bbliss17, on 07/19/2008, -1/+13Tickets for the most part are the same when spiderman 3 came out
- mycatsasha, on 07/19/2008, -0/+12Get a big purse or a girl with a big purse. That way you can bring food.
Once I brought in ice cream. - necromancer, on 07/19/2008, -1/+12Ironman, Wall-e, Batman 2... good summer.
- gregMF, on 07/19/2008, -7/+18the whole spiderman series is garbage
toby + kristen + the whole cast = garbage, most overrated movie series ever - reed311, on 07/19/2008, -2/+13Congrats to all the share holders in the movie studio.
- jpaolini, on 07/19/2008, -0/+11Agreed, it blew me away - phenomenal movie.
- houndeyex, on 07/19/2008, -0/+10Wear a winter coat -> stuff footlong subs in both arms -> win
- Kristijan12, on 07/19/2008, -0/+10DK is curently ranked #1 on IMDb top 250 list with 9.5.
- EmperorAwesome, on 07/19/2008, -1/+11What the *****? I for one was grateful that the studio didn't enforce the heinous 90 minute cap summer action movies seem to be cursed with.
- hansolo007, on 07/19/2008, -0/+10brilliant movie and performances, a must see.
Finally a 2 1/2 hour long movie that wasn't too long. - jellydoughnut21, on 07/19/2008, -1/+10I'd like to see it happen, but I just don't think it will. Titanic benefited from having something for everyone. It brought in people for the love story, it brought it people for the destruction, it brought in middle schoolers for the boob scene. It really spanned the entire age group from about 9-100, which is very rare. The Dark Knight does have wide appeal, but it's dark nature will probably steer some parents away from taking their kids, and many older adults are not too into comic book movies. It will be huge, but not Titanic huge.
- steelaz, on 07/19/2008, -0/+9Batman. Beets. Bears
- diulei, on 07/19/2008, -0/+9Only if geeks see the movies 5-6 times like teen girls did back in the 90s.
- banmaster, on 07/19/2008, -2/+11No, nothing is as useless as those ***** iPhone 'articles'.
- knopper67, on 07/19/2008, -1/+1066.4 Million?
Piracy costing them money MY ASS.
I'd be more than happy with that much. - Nubli, on 07/19/2008, -2/+10Ticket prices haven't risen in my area in years. An adult has to pay anywhere from $9.50-$10.50 depending upon which theater he/she goes to. If the theater is relatively old, the cheaper price shows. The newer ones are the higher price. However for years now this has been the price range. It was the same when Spiderman 3 came out, it was the same two days ago, and it's the same right now and will be for the rest of the weekend.
- inactive, on 07/19/2008, -7/+15With Shia Labeouf as Robin, batman 3 will do even better!
- Epik, on 07/19/2008, -7/+15Ledger single-handedly flew with this flick. Even with all the hype about his performance I wasn't expecting this. Batman Begins and the rest of The Dark Knight pales in comparison to The Joker. It's so unfair that we won't be seeing anymore of him.
- LucerinRed, on 07/19/2008, -0/+8Correction: New Batman Movies > New Spiderman movies. Not many people will argue against that, but please, lets be civil and not even get into the fanboy war that is Superhero X vs Superhero Y
- NathanielJ, on 07/19/2008, -0/+8No, he's talking about this one:

...which is still on the front page. - toastybeast, on 07/19/2008, -2/+10Good, because Spiderman 3 SUCKED.
- RadiatedAnt, on 07/19/2008, -0/+8you misunderstand the power of digg, never go against the grain.
- redfred18t, on 07/19/2008, -1/+9Ticket prices have been about the same around here for the past 3-4 years
- inactive, on 07/19/2008, -3/+11Batman > any American comic hero. Period.
- HanSolo69, on 07/19/2008, -1/+9Are they implying that no one was excited about this movie before Heath Ledger died?
- freqk, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7Yeah, it better ***** beat Spiderman 3
- tyler0is0sexy, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7Could have used more Joker :(
- futebollounge, on 07/19/2008, -0/+7based on the fact that spiderman movie is ***** and the batman movie is epic.
- AparoidX, on 07/19/2008, -0/+7They had a good eye for detail in the movie. Did anyone notice the Bat-shaped brake pads on Bruce Wayne's Lamborghini?
