Will Batman - The Dark Knight 's opening credits include "In memory of Heath Ledger"?

Settled as No

News reports are that tribute to Ledger occurs at the closing, not opening, credits of the movie.

NB - As this has been settled before the release of the movie, should the above situation not eventuate this question would be resettled.

Not sure if we want to settle on this or wait, but might be good to leave suspended. Your call. (market suspended)

I am glad it says opening. That may be the difference...

Closing credits. I predict that when the movie ends, the first thing you'll see is before any credits will be the "In Memory"

Glad to see I wasn't the only one with that thought. Am voting "no" cuz if it's there at all, it'll be at the end.

True, I can't see why it would be at the beginning.

It's going to be in the end. Below is a news link from Yahoo news.

But we'll wait for the movie. I'll be there opening night (I really want to see the movie!)

Went ahead and suspended it. Not sure if we should settle on the article or leave it suspended for a while... or maybe she'll reopen the market.. I dunno. Seems pretty reliable though.

Gosh darnit.
I know the credits include a memorium to Heath, but I misread and it says opening credits.

Bummer. Sucks to be me.......

If we all know the outcome NOW, shouldn't this market be settled?
