The Dark Knight which was the fastest flick to earn $400 million has become the second movie in history to gross over $500 million at the box office the
Associated Press reported on Sunday.
The Batman sequel has raked in over $502.4 million in just over six weeks - half the time it took Titanic, which reached the half-billion mark in a little more than three months the AP reported.

The Dark Knight ranks second behind Titanic's $601 million gross.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros., said he expects The Dark Knight to finish at about $530 million, though it could reach $550 million.
"I keep raising the number because it just keeps holding better than expected," Fellman told the AP.
"It's wonderful!" Christian Bale told Usmagazine.com of the movie's box office success. "But I'm not a business man. I just enjoy doing what I do and whatever happens after that is gravy."
The Dark Knight is expected to reach about $505 million by Labor Day, the AP reported.
Tropic Thunder remained the No. 1 movie at the box office for the third straight weekend, raking in $11.5 million. Vin Diesel's sci-fi thriller Babylon A.D. debuted at No. 2 with $9.7 million. The Dark Knight at No. 3, took in $8.8 million, while Disaster Movie premiered at No. 7 with $6.2 million.

Dale SToo bad that movies successes are based on fake explosions,special effects, and bulging budgets. People don't like to be made to think or feel emotion any more. They'd rather sit in the middle of a video game. See some old 40's flix when film making was actually an art.report abuseposted September 1, 2008 6:19 AM PDT
