Holy Moly BatmanThe Dark Knight” took in a record $155.34 million in its first weekend, topping the previous best of $151.1 million for “Spider-Man 3″ in May 2007 and pacing Hollywood to its biggest weekend ever, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“We knew it would be big, but we never expected to dominate the marketplace like we did,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., which released “The Dark Knight.” The movie should shoot past the $200 million mark by the end of the week, he said.

Hollywood set an overall revenue record of $253 million for a three-day weekend, beating the $218.4 million haul over the weekend of July 7, 2006, according to box-office tracker Media By Numbers.

Factoring in higher admission prices, “Spider-Man 3″ may have sold slightly more tickets than “The Dark Knight.” At 2007’s average price of $6.88, “Spider-Man 3″ sold 21.96 million tickets over opening weekend. Media By Numbers estimates today’s average movie prices at $7.08, which means “The Dark Knight” would have sold 21.94 million tickets.

It’s Going To Blow People Away

The tone on the set was dark and gloomy, but the sudden death of Heath Ledger added an additional and unwanted morbidity to the aura surrounding British director Christopher Nolan’s Batman sequel, The Dark Knight.

“What Heath brought to The Joker is difficult to describe,” says Nolan. “There’s an extraordinary intensity to it and he’s absolutely terrifying.”

“We wanted him to represent pure, unadulterated evil,” he says, “and I needed a phenomenal actor, but he also had to be someone unafraid of taking on such an iconic role. Heath created something entirely original. It’s stunning, captivating. It’s going to blow people away.”

The Joker is terrifying because there appears no rhyme or reason for what he does; he’s just a force of nature,” says Nolan. “With Two-Face, you see his transformation and you understand where his anger and his grief come from.”

Did the role of The Joker play a part in Heath Ledger’s downward spiral into Drugs, Depression and eventual prescription Drug Overdose at age 28. Speculation is there will be a posthumous Oscar Nomination for Ledger.

Marc Lee, The Daily Telegraph: The Dark Knight has plenty of high-speed, maximum-volume action sequences, but it is also one of the most intelligent big-budget Hollywood movies of recent times; and no sympathy vote is required for a cinematic creation as accomplished as Ledger’s deranged, demonic Lord of Chaos. It is a genuinely unsettling, brilliantly nuanced portrait of evil.
