BOX OFFICE: "The Dark Knight" soars above "Star Wars"

This weekend, The Dark Knight surpassed Star Wars as the 2nd highest grossing movie of all time! Star Wars (A New Hope) is at $460 million including the tally of all its re-releases since the movie first debuted in 1977. The Dark Knight grossed over $471 million this weekend in just 31 days(!) well on its way to the $500 million!

The highest grossing movie ever remains Paramount's Titanic.
