The Dark Knight Destroys Spiderman
Posted by djocean on July 22, 2008
As predicted, Heath Ledger and the Dark Knight crushed the world’s favorite webslinger Spiderman, taking in $155.34 million in its opening weekend. Spiderman 3 had the previous record with $151.1 million. In what appears to be the perfect storm of media, publicity, positive reviews, and possibly the biggest superhero following ever, Dark Knight also broke records for IMAX theaters, raking in $6.2 million. Once again, Spiderman 3 held the previous record generating $4.7 million.
I can’t wait for my beautiful wife to get home later this week. I’m dying to see this movie after going on the Dark Knight ride at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey over the weekend. I’m definitely psyched to see this one and you can bet your ass that I’ll be going to the IMAX at the Palms.
