The DHD BOX OFFICE DERBY For Dark Knight Is Over!
(Because first official Friday estimate came in at 5:30PM)

I’ll announce winner/s when the weekend’s over for these stats: Batman: The Dark Knight‘s 3-day weekend total domestic grosses, DK‘s daily domestic gross totals for this Friday and Saturday and Sunday, DK‘s single best night’s per-screen average, and the overall 3-day weekend box office domestic grosses.

To be eligible, you must estimate all of the above and make your prediction as a comment on this post no later than 9PM PT Friday, July 18th. There’s a puny prize. I really mean puny, along the lines of a new showbiz book or movie DVD that I have lying around the office or can order from Amazon. And I’ll spring for a nice personalized plaque, too. (Awarding it may be impossible if you don’t include your correct email address. But feel free to stay anonymous…)
