Background:>
Background: This question asks, How much do you think the newest Batman movie to bust into theaters "The Dark Knight" will earn during it's first Friday in North American theaters? Friday July 18th, 2008, is its expected opening day at theaters, however, after Hancock snuck into theaters 5 hours before it's scheduled release date, anything could happen, either way, this question asks, how much do you think this blockbuster "The Dark Knight" will earn on its expected first day in North American theaters, Friday 18th of July? Only the box office receipts for the 24 hours of Friday will be counted towards the outcome of this question. ... Remember, this film is expected to maybe be one of the biggest films of the entire year and possibly the #1 film for the whole summer. It's expected to open with $84 - $90 million in only it's first 3 days. So a simple dividing of the low end of this spectrum would put Friday most likely in the low $30's.
