TDK, BIggest Opening Day EVER!

So, if you haven’t heard the news, The Dark Knight has officially had the the biggest opening day EVER. With $66 million on Friday alone, The Dark Knight beat out the last winner Spiderman 3 ($59 million). Of course, a good chunk of that came from midnight showings (about $17 million). But not only is there good news for the big wigs at Warner Bros.; all the early reviews—and all the word of mouth I have heard—places TDK at the top of a very short list of the best reviewed movies of the year. It’s currently at 94% at RottenTomatoes.com and not likely to take a dive at this point.

To reiterate my last post: I hope $66 million on opening day makes Warner Bros. sit up and take notice, so that they will give other talented directors like Christopher Nolan the money and creative space to explore their other DC properties and turn them into both critical and financial successes.
