What Will TDK's Final (Domestic) Box Office Total Be?
- Thread starter Frontier
- Start date
Which would have it pass the original Star Wars as the second highest grossing film of all time.
Damn, that's impressive.

Well, that Star Wars figure is a bit misleading because it only made $307 million in its original run, $15 million in the 1982 re-release, and $138 million in 1997 as the Special Edition. Of course, that's all unadjusted for inflation.
What I find a little funny is that, even into March or so, it was the SECOND most anticipated film of 2008. Indiana Jones being #1. And now... it left Indy in the dust within 2 weeks.
I wish the INTL figures got updated more often, and with more accuracy. Despite the totals being updated every week or so, they still say the same numbers as first week for many countries. I'd like to know the individual nations as well as the totals.
Only domestically. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still leads internationally by a large amount.

Box office Mojo is just updating. TDK is now #2 all time domestic (raw $).

Not by that much. Indy IV is at $777 million worldwide and TDK is at $735 million (and that's without this weekend's international numbers). TDK will easily overtake Indy IV in worldwide box office, and now that Potter 6 has been moved to 2009 TDK should take the worldwide crown for 2008.
Edit to add: so TDK managed to pip Clone Wars to the #2 spot. Excellent!
Wow, $16.79 million! That exceeded my expectations!
Worldwide, yes, but that's because of The Dark Knight's huge domestic numbers. What I was referring to was just the international numbers. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has made $461.5 million to The Dark Knight's $263.5 million. A HUGE margin.
Yeah...I don't expect a response, either.
Was there ever any doubt TDK would not beat that little piece of shit Lucas scooped out of his toilet bowl for his devoted followers?
I'll never understand the constant hatred for Lucas on these boards. It's like he killed everyone's soul just by existing.
^TDK, in its fifth weekend, barely beat a new Star Wars movie in its first.
TDK, in its fifth weekend, barely beat a new Star Wars movie in its first, that is a commercial for a TV on Cartoon Network this fall.
A comedy co-staring Jack Black and RDJ as a black man beat BOTH.
So...when even its champions make excuses for it on that basis, I'd think that tips the scales towards "trash" rather than "treasure".
