We have a new champion, folks. “The Dark Knight” will haul in between $153 and $155 million this weekend, according to track-master general Nikki Finke.
That beats the previous non-holiday weekend record set by “Spider-Man 3″ – and that’s a film that doesn’t deserve to hold a single record.
But can “The Dark Knight” keep on keepin’ on? It’s not a film for the kiddies, and word of that will surely spread (although the 1 year old who sat a few seats down from me at my screening didn’t complain a bit)
Then again, I can’t imagine people watching this and not all but dragging their pals to go see it with them.
Did anyone out there hate it? Feel it was a major letdown? Let me know …

I was generally pleased with “The Dark Knight,” but I liked “Batman Begins” better. It was great, but not the greatest. It has some problems, Maggie Gyllenhaal foremost among them.
By the way, the photo on the post reminds me: Was I the only one who thought when Batman was tearing through that shopping center on his Batcycle “A lot of space in this mall”?
Maggie’s character was a weak link, to be sure, but Katie Holmes isn’t a good enough actress to distract me from her real life escapades so I appreciated the casting change.
You’re right about the shopping center scene, but Batman has enough angst without worrying about running over civilians!
