The Dark Knight destined for greatness


I recommend you read this blog post by Neil Miller:

Is The Dark Knight Headed for the Box Office Record Books?

Neil Miller has this in his post:

"The folks at MovieTickets.com sent over word this afternoon that The Dark Knight has sold eight times the amount of tickets online as Spider-Man 3 did at the same point during its sales cycle — 21 days prior to release. And if you remember correctly, Spider-Man 3 opened to $152 million dollars in its opening weekend, the largest opening weekend in history. There have also been reports of midnight shows across the country already being sold-out."

Every pundit had their money on Indy whipping up the records but Yours Truly remained loyal to the Batsy camp. Now, months later after the major rival films have either outperformed or underperformed expectations, pundits and "gurus" are coming over the Batsy camp.

Earlier this year in the Summer Movie Guide I stated I couldn't make a ranking forecast as to which would be the biggest films of the year. I did mention which could be on the top 5 list. Well, in the latest edition of the Summer Movie Guide I declared The Dark Knight the winner followed by Iron Man, Indiana Jones, and Hancock with Wall-E competiting for 4th and 5th place spots.

I'm not sure of the 2-5th place spots anymore, but I'm 1,000% sure The Dark Knight will rise above all else!
