Warner Bros.' Batman: The Dark Knight is going to be H-U-G-E.We mentioned last week that industry experts estimate a $130 million opening weekend for the flick (or possibly higher).
Here are more stats that prove just how big this weekend will be for the film:
- 4,366 screens across North America will be playing the Heath Ledger starring movie. Hollywood insiders say that's an industry record!
- Fandango (which sells tickets to more than 15,000 theater screens) reports that The Dark Knight accounts for an impressive 90% of all ticket sales for the upcoming weekend. Dayum! Hope y'all got your tickets early like we did!
- MovieTickets.com says The Dark Knight has sold out 700 performances in North America and is outselling 3 of MovieTickets.com’s Top 10 Performing Films of All-Time. To date, the newest Batman has more than 3-times as many advance tickets as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, more than 2-times as many as Spider-Man 3 and almost 2-times as many as Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers at the same point in the sales cycle.
We're very much looking forward to seeing the film!

Well, looks like I'm going to have to pre-order my tickets right now. There's no way in hell I'll miss this movie this weekend! On to other news, critics are predicting Heath Ledger to be nominated for an Academy Award for his amazing performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.
