Dark Knight posters
From Yahoo News http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/va/20080810/121839776800.html
"The Dark Knight" ruled the North American box office for a fourth weekend on Sunday to become the third-biggest movie of all time.
The Batman sequel earned an estimated $26 million during the three days beginning on Friday, distributor Warner Bros. Pictures said, taking its total to $441.5 million after 24 days.
It now ranks at No. 3 on the all-time list, behind "Titanic" with $601 million and "Star Wars" with $461 million.
But adjusted for inflation, the sales of "The Dark Knight" rank more modestly at No. 49, according to tracking form Box Office Mojo. The 1939 epic "Gone with the Wind" wins by that measure with $1.4 billion in today's dollars.
Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc, said it expects "Dark Knight" to end up with about $520 million.
The weekend's No. 2 slot went to the new Columbia Pictures release "Pineapple Express" with $22.4 million.
