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...)
If you want some help sorting through the numbers and records, see my box office predictions story here.

Why can’t it beat Spider-Man 3’s opening weekend? They keep saying running time will be a factor, but Spider-Man 3 was a pretty long movie too; it’s only 13 minutes shorter than The Dark Knight.

As for Batman, I think it will do about $8-10 million for the weekend. Christian Bale isn’t a draw (see: Rescue Dawn, Harsh Times) and Maggie Gyllenhaal has alienated her indie fans with this blockbuster filth. All shall tremble before the box office might of Eddie Murphy.
Chris Nolan is a hack. Mark my words, he’ll never work again after this disbatster. This is Heaven’s Gate 2.0.
