This is a bit late, but I was enjoying the weekend.  Hopefully everybody else was too.  This news isn’t exactly big or unexpected or anything, but it is very cool.  For only the second time in history, a film has grossed over half a billion dollars in the U.S. alone, and I couldn’t be more happy that that film is The Dark Knight.  It achieved the landmark number this weekend, and now stands at $504.7 million.  (and $921.7 million worldwide)  While it most likely still won’t take over Titanic’s  top spot of $600.788 million, it should still add another $30 million or so to its total.  Very, very impressive.  Once again, congratulations to all involved.  And thanks for the great film.
