The Dark Knight Does It AGAIN!

Heath Ledger HLEDGER02.jpg

We told you yesterday that The Dark Knight broke the midnight opening record by bringing in $18.5 million, but after everything was tallied up from Friday night sales, the film ended up having the best opening day gross EVER, with an estimated $66.4 million in ticket sales.

The film could score the highest opening ever for a non-holiday weekend if people keep flocking to theaters. The previous record holder for both best opening day and best opening for a non-holiday weekend is Spider-Man 3, which made $59.8 million on its opening Friday, and $151.1 million for the weekend.

Madness!

Have you seen the film yet? Thoughts?

Of course! All the reviews have been positive especially the one's of Heath's performance. It's so sad, tho, that his doctors prescribed him so many meds that he was able to overdose. WTF!

Saw it last night! Worth the hype in my opinion. Awesome movie, just great! awesome performances. Heath was exceptional- a true talent! Sad to know that we won't be able to see such a great actor in films anymore. Sucks!

I am still mourning Heath Ledger's death. It is so very sad that this awesome young, handsome actor's life is over. He did an outstanding job in TDK. I was so very taken at how wonderful of a job he did. It was VERY hard for me to sit there and know that this was the last movie he would ever be in. I love you Heath. May his family find peace. Will see you in Heaven!
