Deadline Hollywood Daily’s Nikki Finke is reporting that very early domestic numbers show that Warner Bros’ The Dark Knight won its 4th straight weekend after taking in $26 million, compared to No. 2, Sony’s Pineapple Express with $22 million. The Batman installment’s easy win was fueled by Saturday’s +37% gross compared to Friday’s, while the Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen stoner comedy fell -6% from Friday to Saturday. With a 24 day total of $441.5 million, ‘The Dark Knight’ now ranks at No. 3 on the all-time list, behind ‘Titanic’ with $601 million and ‘Star Wars’ with $461 million.
FYI: Not since ‘Lord of the Rings: Return of the King’ opening weekend of 12/19/03 has a film gone four weeks at number one!
