The Dark Knight Rises was always going to be a huge hit domestically. But the big question was, can the film top
The Dark Knight's international gross of $468 million? The answer is yes, as the Christopher Nolan-directed films passed the $400 million mark today, and it's currently on $407.2 million, according to
Screen Daily.
The Dark Knight Rises will probably pass $1 billion worldwide (or it will come very close to that number), but it all depends on how much will it make in China. There is only one catch... The words is, that it will open against
The Amazing Spider-Man on the same day in China (August 27th). Both films will make money for sure, but we'll see how much exactly. China is one of the biggest international markets, so the gross should be solid. Stay tuned for more box office updates.
Starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Morgan Freeman,
The Dark Knight Rises is now in theatres.
