The Dark Knight continued to dominate multiplexes this weekend grossing another $75 million bringing its total to $314 million in only 10 days setting yet another record. The previous record was held by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which took 16 days to reach the $300 million mark. Batman also broke the record for best second weekend gross outdistancing the $72 million taken in by Shrek 2 in it’s second frame. As it stands now, after only 2 weeks, The Dark Knight is the highest grossing film of the year.

Among newcomers, the Will Ferrell comedy, Step Brothers launched with a solid $30 million while The X Files: I Want to Believe crashed and burned with only $10.2 million. Among holdovers, Mamma Mia! continued to do well, grossing $17.9 million, bringing its total up to $62.7 million. My predictions were very close this weekend. Take a look at the chart below.
