The Batman sequel, "The Dark Night," made history as the highest-grossing movie opening of all time -- around $65 million on Friday alone. It may break the record for the highest three-day opening as well.
It needs to beat "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," a dreadful film, and "Spider-Man 3," not as dreadful but not as good as the first two Spidey movies.
The cool thing about this is that the first movie was a slow builder. The previous Batman franchise had turned off fans so much that few trusted "Batman Begins." But word of mouth spread about how good it was and the box office numbers built up over time.
With the trust now fully restored, "The Dark Knight" should continue to make history. And I still haven't seen it. I'm going to wait until the crowds are down.

Except, this has turned out to be the grand stinker of the year! We all need a better Batman!! 8O
Hey...I went to the 7:30 showing tonight. It was packed and there was a line inside (not outside) but two of us got in. The movie was AWESOME! I wish Heath L. was still alive. I was wondering who would play the next Joker, if there is another movie with Batman,etc. I think Jack N is too old now. Maybe Jim Carey. He has an evil grin, plus he's crazy.
