Christian Bale Takes His Dark Family to London
NiqueHappy.com - Everything is Gossip — Having one of the biggest weekend openings of all time for Dark Knight - raking in $155,340,000 (as of July 20) - it’s no wonder Christian Bale and his family are all smiles as they arrive at the Heathrow Airport in London yesterday to attend the Batman European premiere. I like to think the movie is successful because of the movie itself instead of Heath Ledger’s passing, although I hear he was phenomenal in the movie as well. I haven’t seen it yet, obviously, because of, you know, the inevitably long lines. But now that it’s made all its money, I ...

'Dark Knight': No 'Batman' needed
Oh No They Didn't! — Everyone’s going ga-ga about those “The Dark Knight” numbers. It passed $300 million at the North American box office in a mere 10 days, which puts it ahead of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” and every other movie ever released in the speed-to-$300 million category. By hitting an estimated $314.2 million after this weekend, “The Dark Knight” already is the top-grossing “Batman” movie ever. Here are the other “Batman” movies’ totals (courtesy of Box Office Mojo) — though inflation makes this not quite an apples-to-apples comparison: “Batman” (1989): $251.2 ...

Box Office: The Batman Still On Top
BuzzSugar — [image] For the third weekend in a row, The Dark Knight was No. 1 at the box office, narrowly beating The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor for the top spot. The Mummy earned about $42.5 million while The Dark Knight earned $43.8 million. Thanks to this win, The Dark Knight has just about crossed the $400 million line in domestic ticket sales. Variety notes that most box office watchers had predicted this would be the weekend Batman would lose his crown, but I'm not all that surprised. The third addition to the silly action-adventure Mummy franchise failed to meet even the lowest critical ...

What’s This About A “Green Lantern” Movie?
Hollywoodtuna — I’m getting a little tired of playing the “will they or won’t they?” game with the WB’s long-gestating Justice League adaptation, and from the sounds of IESB’s report, so is the studio. Instead they’d prefer to set their sights on a third Batman movie (I wonder why) and apparently, a stand-alone Green Lantern film. The script is earning raves from the IESB crew, with Robert Sanchez saying, “It has the potential to be bigger than Iron Man or maybe even The Dark Knight.” I really don’t know about that - I’m not sure the ringed ...

“Dark Knight” Makes History Again, Second Highest Grossing Film of All Time
Fataculture — “Titanic” still holds the title of highest grossing film of all time, “The Dark Knight” is the 2nd highest grossing film in U.S. history – having now made $471,493,000 during its 31 day run thus far. It may have loosened its grip on its long weekend box-office number one run, with “Tropic Thunder,” which I have yet to see, taking the number one spot this weekend . Loosing steam, perhaps, but TDK is stilling pulling in weekend earnings in the high teens, and now it has settled on the number 2 spot without having to ignore the “Star Wars” technicalities. But, since that money hungry freak that is George Lucas ...

Warner Bros.’ adopts a Dark Strategy
Film-Book dot Com — [image] Because of the success of The Dark Knight and most of the superhero movies that have come out this summer, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Warner Bros. has decided to focus more of its creative energies on developing its DC Comics properties.

Pictures Group President Jeff Robinov “wants his next pack of superhero movies to be bathed in the same brooding tone as “The Dark Knight.” Creatively, he sees exploring the evil side to characters as the key to unlocking some of Warner Bros.’ DC ...

The Dark Knight Returns...for Oscars (and Titanic?)
Topless Robot — Warner Bros. has announced they'll be re-releasing The Dark Knight in January 2009, in order to get the movie the proper Oscar attention, especially the posthumous one everyone thinks Ledger's going to get. What Warner Bros. doesn't say—but is surely thinking of—is that they also desperately, desperately want to beat Titanic as biggest movie in the U.S. Here's the score: Titanic has $600 million U.S. box office, and $1.6 billion worldwide gross. As of September 9th, Box Office Mojo says The Dark Knight has grossed $512 million in the U.S., which does put the film at a strong #2 ...
