Background:
In fact, estimates so far have been that Dark Knight could break the record for largest opening weekend in movie history, currently held by Spiderman 3 with a $150 million domestic opening haul. Heath Ledger's fans are obviously flocking big time to see the movie, but the movies 2 hour 32 min length might turn some people off. Can you predict how much this movie is going to make in its opening weekend?
This question asks, how much do you think the new Batman summer blockbuster movie "The Dark Knight" will earn in its first three days of release at the North America Box Office (July 18th, 19th and 20th, 2008)?
Settlement details:As reported by www.the-numbers.com or another major mainstream news source. Predictions settles as such: If for example it earns $75.999 million, then the "$70 to $75 million" WILL WIN, not the "$76 to $80 million". It must at least reach $76 million even, in order for "$76 million to $80 million" prediction to win. Reason for the starting percentages: HSX and some other sources, are collectively predicting in the range of $77 - $80 million for Fri, Sat, and Sun as of 06/04/08.
