And these two movies that surpass themselves can only rank 2 or 3 on the single-day box office list, because in front of them is an unprecedented Batman movie - "The Dark Knight".
With 5,129 theaters and 10,023 screens, this film surpassed the 4,362 theaters and 8,123 screens of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", becoming the largest film in North American film history.
And his amazing single-day box office performance of $81.56 million with a thunderous momentum has become the highest premiere day in history, and the highest single-day record box office is not only surpassing the record-breaking "I Am Legend" in terms of the total number, but also surpassing the record of $16.9 million in "Star Wars Prequel 3: Heath's Revenge" at midnight.

Countless viewers are crazy about the quality of "Night Knight", not only Boxofficemojo and Yahoo have a high user rating of A (currently the highest in the history of the box office authority Boxofficemojo); Even the media and film critics who used to be snarky to you showed a comprehensive score of 82 points, second only to "Life of Pi"; A-, on the Yahoo side; Rotten Tomatoes website freshness 94%: 187 votes for: 12 votes against), an absolute Oscar-level masterpiece.
Like "Life of Pi" when it was released, "Chicago Reader", "Chicago Sun", "Chicago Tribune", "Christian Science Monitor", "Empire", "Entertainment Weekly", "Theaters", "Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Daily News", "New York Post", "Seattle Post", "Time", "USA Today", "Variety", "Village Voice" ...... ~ all authorities showed full marks.
"The story with the showdown between the Gotan weirdo Joker and the patronus Batman as the main line, after peeling off the narrative coat, unexpectedly surfaced a difficult and contradictory philosophical proposition: Do people want heroes or not? Is the reason why heroes are created to worship and wait for them to save us, or is it for us to attack and slander and then hurry up? ”
"Isn't this just a good comic book adaptation? It's a dark, complex, deep, memorable, chilling crime epic!! ”
"The harmony of artistry and entertainment is more perfect than the CG and real shooting in the film, and the rare Shakespearean tragedy with the sign of 'Christmas blockbuster'" is "high and high, full of emotion, sharp and tangled, majestic and nuanced"
"The super-first-class film technology has met a group of amazing directors, Xiuyi screenwriters, and indescribably great actors who can fully control them" "The process of plot unfolding is also a process of academic research that satirizes simple and crude punishment of evil and promotes good, and provides a new direction for the development of such films"
At the same time, for the actors of this film, all the media unanimously gave the highest evaluation.
"Led by Christian Bale, the actor of Batman, and Aaron Eckhart, the actor of 'Two-Face', the tough starring cast is not leaky, and he has dedicated his impeccable superb acting skills" .......
"The performance that sparked the topic came of course from Heath Ledger, the actor of 'Joker', usually we say 'possessed' generally refers to the leading actor of a biopic, and today Ledger shows what 'possessed by a virtual character' is with his shocking cold and vicious acting skills!"
"Ledger's interpretation shows the ugliness, horror, madness, and grievances of a terminally ill soul addicted to 'sin' from the surface to the inside, and the evil is so three-dimensional and multi-layered that it is enough to discourage the real ghosts~~!!"
Famous film critic Roger Ebert described the film on his blog:
“…… I can't put into words. This film may have been shot by God with a camera, Christopher Nolan and Christian Berchis Ledger, the three Englishmen who created the myth of "The Night Knight".
The names of the three of them will go down in film history with this great film and be remembered by future generations. This is the only film to match Life of Pi at the box office and artistically this year, and I sincerely look forward to doing well at the 80th Academy Awards on February 24, 2008 at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.
Let's take a look at other movies released at the same time~~~ "Rejuvenation", "Millionaire in the Slum", "No Country for Old Men", "I Am Legend", "National Treasure 2", "Rat's Treasure", ......
Oh my God~~~~~ these are movies that make it to the Oscars~~~December 28th~~ This day can be called great~~!! I suggest that Hollywood should apply to the California government to make this day an 'American Film Festival', and all of this is a chain reaction caused by a certain 'movie Jesus'~~This day is given to us by God~!! ”
Yes, filmmakers know very well that the reason why so many good movies are released in the Christmas class is because of one person, a Chinese who stirred up the whole Hollywood - Li Xiaole.

The box office of 03.7 billion is just around the corner.
As of this date, the total box office in North America in 2007 has reached 95. At 9.9 billion US dollars, it has surpassed the previous record high of 94 in 2004. $1.8 billion, becoming a new record in North American film history.

It is the peak value of the same period in history since the 21st century, and even surpassed the sum of the top 12 at the end of 2003 when "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" was in the bank. $6.5 billion.
In addition, Warner won the 11th single-weekend box office championship of the year with the excellent performance of "The Dark Knight", with Disney accumulating 10 times, Paramount DreamWorks 9 times, Sony 6 times, Universal 4 times, 20th Century Fox 4 times, Lionsgate 3 times, New Line 2 times, and MGM Weinstein 1 time.
And among these familiar names, there is also a brand new company that is shocking, as a black pearl company that has just been established for 3 years, in 2007 with "Iron Man", "Captain America", "Life of Pi" won 7 weekly box office titles, surpassing Sony, Universal, Fox and other old-school giants, becoming the fourth on this list.
With the addition of Lionsgate and Pinnacle, the Century Cinema Alliance, and the Pirate TV ~~~ Black Pearl Film Alliance has fledged this year, and it has truly become a force that can compete with the Hollywood Grand League.
Many people are exclaiming in their hearts, is it really the "movie Jesus" coming...... can change the entire Hollywood landscape in this way.
And this Warner vs Black Pearl; The war between Nolan VS Li Xiaole's box office and film status is far from over~~
Although the starting point is different, whether it is "Life of Pi" or "The Dark Knight", every number of box office increases makes fans feel excited.
What is the final number in Li Xiaole's small notebook is 600 million? For what Nolan's declaration is 600 million, because their goal is one! In 1997, the invincible giant ship "Titanic" under the command of James Cameron was created6. 007.8 billion box office record ~~
In the past ten years, no one has even come close to the box office record in North American film history, and today there is finally a movie that has the hope of challenging James Cameron, the king of the world's films~! Or two movies appeared at the same time!
"Who can reach the Titanic record?" Netizens have launched a fierce debate over these two movies, and fans' opinions are roughly divided into three factions, James Cameron's fans believe that it is impossible to break the North American film record, Li Xiaole fans insist that the "movie Jesus" will create miracles, and some people believe that "The Dark Knight" will become the first place engraved in North American film history.
