BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhuanet) -- The Dark Knight dominated Hollywoods box office for the fourth consecutive weekend, raking in 26 million U.S. dollars, and Stoner comedy Pineapple express saw 22.4 million dollars to claim second place.
The Dark Knight now occupies third place on the
all-time U.S. box-office list with 441.5 million dollars. Titanic is now the
No. 1 all-time revenue maker with 600.8 million dollars, followed by the first
Star Wars move with 461 million dollars.
The Dark Knight should surpass Star Wars to
become No. 2 on the revenue chart by this coming weekend. The Dark Knight has
far outdone even its studios expectations.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros.,
said he would have been happy if the movie simply exceeded the 205 million
dollar domestic total of its predecessor, Batman Begins.
It should top out at 510 million dollars to 520
million dollars, Fellman said.
