Deadline Hollywood:
SATURDAY PM: Studio sources tell me that very early domestic numbers show that Warner Bros' The Dark Knight won its 4th straight weekend after taking in $26 million, compared to No. 2, Sony's Pineapple Express with $22 million. The Batman installment's easy win was fueled by Saturday's +37% gross compared to Friday's, while the Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen stoner comedy fell -6% from Friday to Saturday. Full report on Sunday...

^ You also have to look at the increase from Thursday-Friday. PE was up 31.9%, TDK 60.5%. That's pretty telling that PE was fairly front-loaded and continued from Friday-Saturday as well...

Well, that is good news. Don't get me wrong, nothing would make me happier than to see TDK rule weekend for FOUR weekends straight, I just have to assume something is going to take it down soon enough, even if it just is for a margin.
But if those numbers hold, then yeah, TDK definitely wins Saturday and Sunday.

Well, next week most likely both TT and Star Wars will overtake TDK. I see TDK making around $16m, so those movies should be able to easily make more than that...

Tropic Thunder is going to be big, not huge, but big. I'm seeing like a 50 mil weekend. Star Wars I think will only do like 25 mil. So in other words, 4 weekends is it for Dark Knight, it had a good run.
Pineapple Express was front loaded with stoners but a lot of people in my office were talking about it, like 50 year olds. Hopefully it brings in audiences for a few weeks.

TDK is less than $160 million away from Titanic's domestic record, and it hasn't even been in theaters a month yet. I wouldn't be surprised if fan-boy "desire" to overthrow Titanic might get it to that magic $600 million number.

Perhaps, but Warner doesn't seem to expect that. From comingsoon.net
"If the estimate holds, then the Christopher Nolan-directed film has surpassed Shrek 2 ($441.226 million) to climb to the third spot on the all-time domestic blockbuster list, trailing just Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope ($460.998 million) and Titanic ($600.788 million). Warner Bros. Pictures said it expects "Dark Knight" to end up with about $520 million domestically. The movie cost $185 million to make."

Even combined they won't touch Gone With the Wind's 1.2 billion.
Adjusted for inflation of course.

But short of a big re-release for the Oscars (and it would have to be outside of just Ledger in terms of Oscar buzz), this will have a tough time getting to $600m. VERY tough.

I kind of see it topping out at around $530 million. Even though it's made a ton, it is still making less and less, something that Titantic didn't start off doing. Unless they have a small re-release in the fall, it just isn't possible. As I've said before, as soon as summer ends and people (kids, teens, and college students), the numbers will drop more steeply.

Besides even if Dark Knight crossed $600 million and overtook Titanic for the #1 spot James Cameron (and his ego) would immediately re-release it out of spite until Titanic ends up at no. 1.
