That’s how much The Dark Knight made in one day (Surber).
Sells $66.4 million worth of tickets in one day — or 10 times what “Valley of Elah†sold in over a year.
Ah, yes, the VRWC’s favorite antiwar movie. Its total box office and rentals are $6.5 million.
And it’s going to keep making money:
All indications are that “The Dark Knight” will keep landing blows: Advance ticket sales were booming.
“There is an unbelievable demand for this movie,” said Paul Dergarabedian, president of tracking firm Media By Numbers LLC. “The Heath Ledger factor is a major part of this. Beyond that, the movie is so good, it’s worthy of all these accolades.”
The movie directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale as Batman cost $185 million to make, excluding money spent marketing, said Dan Fellman, Warner’s head of distribution.
Critics have heaped praise on the movie — especially the late Heath Ledger’s turn as the Joker, which has already generated whispers of a posthumous Oscar nomination.
“We’re very proud of the film,” Fellman said. “It’s the magic of the movie business, how one film just stands out above the others.”
