"The Dark Knight:" the Force is Strong in This One

I knew that the latest Batman movie was doing well, but I didn't realize it was this hot:
  • " 'Batman' No. 1 for fourth straight weekend"
    CNN (August 10, 2008)
    • "LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Batman was higher than Hollywood's newest pot heads.
    • " 'The Dark Knight' took in $26 million to finish as the No. 1 movie for the fourth straight weekend, beating the stoner comedy 'Pineapple Express,' which opened in second place with $22.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
    • "The weekend haul lifted the Warner Bros. Batman sequel to No. 3 on the all-time domestic box-office charts with $441.5 million, behind only 'Titanic' ($600.8 million) and the original 'Star Wars' ($461 million)...."
  • "The Force Is With Dark Knight"
    E! Online (August 10, 2008)
    • "Beware, Lord Vader.
    • "The Dark Knight brought its overall domestic gross to $441.5 million today, per Exhibitor Relations estimates, moving the film to third among the all-time box office champs, and leaving it perhaps only a week away from trumping Star Wars for second place.
    • "The Batman movie's Friday-Sunday take of $26 million gave the blockbuster its fourth-straight weekend box office win—a feat not accomplished since Lord of the Rings: Return of the King ruled in 2003-04..."
I haven't seen "The Dark Knight" yet, but I've got until August 14 to see it in the local theater. If it's like the first Christian Bale Batman movie, I can see why it's drawing in so many people.
