Sunday, August 3, 2008
After placing second Friday and despite predictions that it would finally fall from its perch atop the box office, The Dark Knight buried The Mummy over the weekend, bringing its three week cumulative gross to $394.9 million.
The Dark Knight, which is currently the eighth highest grossing film of all time, will pass the $400 million mark sometime Monday. By this time next week it will surpass Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, E.T., and Shrek 2 to become the third highest grossing film of all-time, falling behind only the original Star Wars ($460,998,007), which it will overtake within another week, and Titanic ($600,788,188).
