The Dark Knight continues its trek up the all-time box office charts surpassing such hits as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men’s Chest, Star Wars Episode 1, E.T., and Shrek 2. By all accounts and estimates, if Knight keeps flying, it’s going to fly right past the original Star Wars to take the number 2 spot behind all-time great, Titanic (See Eonline for more.). Of course, Titanic scored upwards of $601 million. That’s not to say Knight doesn’t have an equal chance to achieve that goal either. BUT, it is a hefty one to achieve, that’s for sure!
The rest of the weekend saw the debut of Pineapple Express, the action-comedy from the guys that brought you Superbad and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, the UBER chicky chick-flick, both making their way up to the Top 5.
Mummy still holds on at #3 while Stepbrothers makes its slow decent down the charts to #5.
It’ll be interesting to see how the numbers stack up this coming weekend when the Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder and the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars debut in wide-release.
Until next time, see YOU at the movies!
