DARK KNIGHT breaks 4 Billion (Bisco read this)

So the DARK KNIGHT just tipped the 4 billion dollar mark which is an incredible feat . .. or is it?

(THIS IS FOR YOU JOHN

)

Yahoo Reports: Led by the blockbuster Batman sequel “The Dark Knight,” U.S.-Canadian weekend ticket sales nce May 2 are running just ahead of last summer, up 1.2 percent, according to box office tracking service Media By Numbers.

The Movie Blog comments: So the number of actual admisons is down nearly 3 percent from a year ago, the gain in revenues is fueled mostly by higher ticket prices. Interesting that when it comes down to it, the actual attendance at the theaters is actually DOWN while higher ticket prices are blowing the budget open. So this amazing blockbuster summer that will forever be known for its domination of Superhero films didn’t draw more people to the theater, just more of their money. I would have thought with such an amazing lineup of films that they would be reporting more people being drawn to the cinema than ever before, but it was approximately the same.

well it did "pass" star wars to become number 2 all time by gross 400+ million BUT in order for it to really pass star wars in actual attendance it would have to gross 1.2 BILLION
