The Dark Knight shattered the record previously set by Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith for most moolah made from midnight screenings.

The highly anticipated new Batman flick made a staggering $18.4 million ‘overnight’.

Hollywood’s now waiting to see if Dark Knight will beat Spider-Man 3’s opening day record of $59.84 million and the all-time best opening weekend record of $151.11 million (also set by Spider-Man 3).

Definitley worth the 9 buck admission price to see Ledger in his Oscar winning performance…seriously.

P.S. The Dark Knight‘ Debut $155.34 Million, Smashing Box Office Records
