... limit showings. But that isn't an issue anymore since many theater managers/owners plan round-the-clock screenings during its midnight July 18 mega-debut. Heck, even the staid New York Times is gushing all giddy about the pic in its news pages, even citing meaningless polls that moviegoers are so hot for the pic they'll take the day off next Friday just to see it.

This is crazy.
Reports are surfacing that the new Warner Bros Batman film, Dark Knight, is set to have a record-breaking weekend.
Sources are estimating that the film will bring in around $130 million for its opening 3-day weekend.
And, when it opens, next Friday, is not even a holiday weekend! Even more impressive!

Via: Deadline Hollywood Daily It's understandable even if ridiculous that Warner Bros keeps trying to lower everyone's expectations for this behemoth blockbuster of a Batman Begins sequel. My sources at the studio keep insisting that Dark Knight will "only" make $90 million to $100 million for its opening 3-day weekend.
