The Dark Knight made $66 milllion on Friday managing to break the single day record held by another comic book hero Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man 2 held the record at $60 million.
The Dark Knight has been out for less than 24 hours, but it has already managed to break a record. The movie grossed $18.5 million from midnight screening beating the record of $16.9 million held by Star Wars: Episode III. Early reports are estimating that the movie might make an earth shattering $50 million just on Friday alone.
Here are the top five weekend box-office record holders:
1 Spider-Man 3 $151 million
2 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest $135 million
3 Shrek the Third $121 million
4 Spider-Man $114 million
5 Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End $114 million

I consider myself a Batman fan, but I’m not willing to pay $150 for a ticket. I waited a year. I can wait two weeks more.
I don’t know. I’m dying to see it and all the showings I went to yesterday were sold-out. I’m getting pretty desperate and willing to pay a little bit more just to get my hands on a ticket.
of course it broke the record, movie tickets are more expensive now. that does not mean the movie was better.
