Let the box-office record-breaking begin. According to
The Hollywood Reporter, the highly-anticipated sequel
The Dark Knight broke the midnight screening box office record, tallying an estimated $18.5 million from those sessions. The midnight shows bowed in 3,040 theaters.
The film broke the previous record held by 2005's
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, which took in $16.9 million from 2,915 theaters.
"We're very proud of the film," said Dan Fellman, Warner's head of distribution. "It's the magic of the movie business, how one film just stands out above the others."
That $18.5 million record-breaking tally also does not include grosses from 3 AM and 6 AM screenings that were added in many venues to meet the whopping demand.

{I know, it's strange to everyone else right?}
This was one baaaad mother fucker!
Anyway, I expected for this to top the box-office records and eclipse the comic book movies of the summer. But those who watch this have to have the mind to absorb what is actually going on to appreciate what is set on the screen.
Damm you Americans... LOL
