Batman Breaks 1 Billion

No, it didn't and won't beat Titanic. GOD I hate that movie. I can't believe it made that much money.

On another note, if all movies had equal ticket prices equivalent to what was paid on average per ticket for TDK, TDK would be 27th in line of all-time grossing films in the US, with Titanic at #6 with "Gone With the Wind", "Star Wars Ep. IV", "The Sound of Music", "ET" and "The Ten Commandments" rounding out the top 5.

Ion they consider that in deciding which is the highest money making.They take into acount inflation and other things.

Titanic was RE-RELEASED THREE times within the year and the enxt year after the oscars....so regardless of The dark knight winning. It wouldnt Beat titanic because when it was RE-RELEASED they didnt promote TDK trailers for a re-release to the IMAX trailers.

Titanic did alot of Marketing, and that why people went to see it 2-3 times after they had already seen it once.

I agree with when you say "TDK would be 27th in line of all-time grossing films in the US"...but tickets then WERE CHEAPER compared to tickets now...so regardless you wouldnt be able to measure that anyways. 1996 it was what 6.50 a movie? Now its 12 dollars?

If you want to look at it in that angle, the yeah of course the TDK would be 27th from the top....but since the system isnt SET that way....ON IMDB and every other site I go to....

All-Time USA Box office: The Dark Knight (2008) $533,062,050 is at the number 2nd spot.

All-Time Non-USA Box office: The Dark Knight (2008) $464,000,000 is at the number 21st spot.

All-Time Worldwide Box office: The Dark Knight (2008) $997,062,050 is at the number 4th spot.

Its funny because if you add those spots up it equals 27th spot lol 2+4+21=27 just a coincidence lol

...but the dark knight being at number 4 worlwide is big deal specially for a comic book movie, titanic made nearly 2 billion because of its marketing...and its 3-4 times re-releases within the world. I hate that movie too...I cant see why people would watch that movie over and over? But whatever...I liked what you said and my reply is long as hell. [sorry about making you read all that]

Who really gives a crap? It made a crap load of money, so that means more goodness to come. We win. So a bunch of women and old people went to see Titanic a bazillion times, big deal. I'm sure the video and DVD sales were a helluva lot too! I don't really care how much money it makes as long as it's enough for them to make another one. Here's hoping that the 3rd one is just as super bad ass as TDK!! Another thing you have to look at is how many people pirated it from the internet. That in addition is stealing money from the TDK because those people aren't paying the outrageous price to watch it. Back in the mid 90's, you didn't see pirating until it was on video.
