DARK KNIGHT MAKE MILLIONS BUKCS IN DOMESTIC WAUW....!!!!

The Dark Knight was prepared to enter into a stratosphere reached by only seven films in Hollywood history after extrapolation an estimated $ 75.6 million this weekend, and surpassing 300 billion dollars nationally in record time.

Among the box office also-Ransa, Will Ferrell has its mojo back, while Mulder and Scully had abducted theirs.

More than anyone else, Batman became man. Where once a $ 400 million in total to take the latest adventure Cap Crusader was considered a possibility, now is considered a lock.

"Certainly, $ 400 million, boom, is going to happen," Media Numbers box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian said today.

"The trend is on has never before been seen. This is absolutely unprecedented."

The Dark Knight's second-weekend gross is a study of the estimates, growing, despite the usual 50 percent or so decline in business.

Dergarabedian predicts that The Dark Knight will bash $ 400 million in about a week from now or 18 days after his release. In 2004, Shrek 2 comparatively pokey took 43 days to reach $ 400 million, a mark which has been and, beginning today, it is still Hollywood-reference.

The Dark Knight has shown enough talent for setting land speed records. According to statistics at the Box Office Mojo, is the fastest film to reach $ 100 million (two days), $ 200 million (five days) and, beginning today, $ 300 million (10 days) .

If you really want to show the film, the easiest thing is to set its sights on a record that, unlike the opening weekend mark has not been broken, or even a serious challenge of this decade: the Titanic all time Gross domestic $ 601 million.

"The reason that the Titanic hit number is because it became a cultural phenomenon," said Dergarabedian. "The Dark Knight has become a kind of cultural phenomenon."

Batman as Jack Dawson? A difficult task even for a great superhero.

Here is a look at other lines of the weekend box office, studio estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations Co.:

Reilly, was a huge step up from last Ferrell opener, this past winter's disappointing Semi-Pro, and was its third biggest debut behind Talladega Nights ($ 47 million) and Blades of Glory ($ 33 million).
* Almost unbelievably, The X-Files: I would like to believe does not meet the expectations very modest, bowing in fourth place with only U.S. $ 10.2 million. With such a beginning, the film will have to dig in returning to his very modest budget of $ 35 million.
* Step Brothers was older X-Files that the X-Files. Their numbers ($ 30 million debut, $ 65 million budget) very well accompanied by 1998's X-Files movie ($ 30.1 million debut, $ 66 million budget).
* One reason X-Files: I want to believe that finished fourth is Mamma Mia! (third, $ 17.9 million) do not give much ground. Ticket sales for the musical Meryl Streep dropped only 36 percent since last weekend. In general, the film has admitted 62.7 million.
* Journey to the Center of the Earth (fifth place, $ 9.4 million) just might be the quietest, something of great movie of the summer. After three weekends, its cumulative take stands at 60.2 million dollars. The figure is not stunned, but neither was his budget, which was as little as $ 45 million or as much as $ 60 million for a variety of sources.
* In its fourth weekend, Hancock (sixth place, $ 8.2 million) finally cooked expected, but managed to push past $ 200 million in general-star Will Smith film the second straight accumulate such gross.
* Get Smart ($ 2.3 million, $ 124.2 million in total) leaves the Top 10 after a five-weekend stay, and Steve Carell low as the upper part of living in gross-comedy action.
* Kung Fu Panda ($ 1 million, $ 209 million) leaves the Top 10 after a seven-stay weekend, and probably will go down in 11 th biggest animated film of all time.
* The new big screen version of Brideshead Revisited ($ 332000 in 33 theaters), the documentary Man in Wire ($ 46000 from two cinemas) and high school-set American Teen ($ 42827 five theaters) led a strong weekend at the art house.
