...but at least at the box office it's the bride. The Dark Knight has now crossed the one billion dollar box office mark with $1.001 billion in the bank, trailing only Titanic (1.84 billion), Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (1.12 billion) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (1.07 billion).
The movie was re-released in IMAX theatres on the day of the Oscar nominations, anticipating an unprecedented amount for a blockbuster movie (they were right, but not in the ways they were hoping). If Heath Ledger wins on Sunday (my fingers have been crossed since January 21st- side note- my fingers hurt a lot) it is likely that whoever has not seen the movie (Hippies? Post-modern freaks?) will go see it, or if it sweeps all eight nominations (possible but doubtful) then they could see their revenue increase as well. The Dark Knight will have to make a lot of money to catch up to the top three, but it sure would be nice if it somehow beat Pirates 2 (I can't believe people saw that so many times).
