Record Breaking Weekend for “Dark Knight” Coming Many Speculate
So do I. This movie has as much hype as any I can remember in the last 5-10 years. Be it because of the death of HEath Ledger, or because the movie actually looks like it rocks, fans are clamoring for tickets that hare sold out for days at most theaters around the country.
Although I won’t be missing anything as I spend my weekend hitting the golf course with my new Cobra golf clubs, and watching the British Open, I will definitely be seeing this one. That is unusual for me as I never go to the theater to see a movie.
Already, advance ticket sales have resulted in the sell-out of nearly 1,000 showtimes, online ticket seller Fandango said.
“Dark Knight” will hope to beat the record debut of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s “Spider-Man 3″ in 2007, which reached $151 million. Sony Pictures is part of Japanese electronics company Sony Corp.
In the No. 2 spot is the $135.6 million debut for 2006′s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” released by the film division of The Walt Disney Co.
