Dark Knight Smashes Box Office Records ALREADY

[hanchan]

This is hardly news, given that everyone in the world right now is watching this film at this very second (note: slight editorial hyperbole), but The Dark Knight is going to be the biggest box office smash of all time.

On Friday - in one day - the mega-blockbuster took $66.4 million, making the next highest taker look like a drunken mother at a wedding: Mamma Mia took $9.6 in the same period. It also pisses from on high on Spiderman 3's opening day, taking roughly $7 million more.

Sit tight and watch the behemoth roll home with showings still selling out and people going back for seconds already.
