"Dark Knight" Nears $400 Million

Boy, what I couldn't do with that kind of money. People are flocking to the box office to see the Batman blockbuster. It hauled in $43.8 million to rank as Hollywood's top movie for the third straight weekend. Coming in second was "The Mummy, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" at $42.4 million. Now really, folks, that is a great deal of money for two movies. And now "Dark Knight" has soared to a $394.9 million in just 17 days. Warner Brothers has got to be smiling all the way to the bank. They figure it will go past $400 million sometime today or tomorrow. The previous $400 million record holder was "Shrek 2", which hit that mark in 43 days. Wow!
