BOX OFFICE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Still Holding Strong Heading Into 3rd Weekend
Christopher Nolan's final Bat-flick is fending off all competition, including this week's Total Recall, to remain at the top of domestic online box office ticket sales as it heads into its third weekend on release..
Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises was expected to lose a bit of momentum heading into its third weekend, but according to Deadline, domestic online box office ticket sales are holding strong. The site report that the movie accounts for 56.6% of all transactions for Wednesday. Total Recall, which hits theaters this weekend to poor reviews, accounts for only 7.41% and Fox’s Diary Of a Wimpy Kid 3: Dog Days an even less impressive 3.71% of all transactions yesterday. Of course that just accounts for online sales, we won't have a completely accurate idea of the final figures until after the weekend -- but I would say it is a good sign Nolan's Batman swansong still has wings. The movie is now expected to finish with a total worldwide gross of over $1 billion, but of course we'll have to see about that!
