It's official (as if it wasn't already). The Dark Knight is one of the most successful movies of all time, racking up over 1 billion dollars worldwide. Amazing, and it couldn't have gone to a better movie.The Dark Knight is only the fourth movie to ever reach that mark, accompanying Titanic, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
One question remains though? Did Warner Brothers cheat to get to the billion dollar mark? The film failed to reach that number during its initial run, so WB re-released it prior to the Oscars and it slowly crawled up to that milestone. It seems legit to me--money is money--but apparently, some people are calling it a cheat.
Regardless, it's a terrific movie (my number one movie of 2008 in fact--read my top 10 here) and it deserves all the credit it gets. Congratulations all around.
