THE DARK KNIGHT Returns To Theaters On January 23rd, 2009:
  • On January 22nd, 2009, the nominees for the 2009 Academy Awards will be announced. Clearly, Warner Bros. is confident that a) THE DARK KNIGHT will be one of the five Best Picture nominees, and b) the ensuing excitement amongst fans will be enough to drive them back to the theater for one last celebratory screening. At the end of this second run, once you factor in those inflated IMAX admissions, another $77 million might be possible. $1 billion worldwide, on the other hand, is guaranteed (it's only $4 million shy at the moment).
