The global mark for Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures’ The Dark Knight Rises was eclipsed after it played in 557 IMAX theaters worldwide this weekend, its seventh week of release. That’s $65.1M from 332 screens domestically and $37.3M from 225 screens overseas. It’s the second film to pass the milestone, joining Avatar.


and IMAX stock is still down today.
The Dark Knight Rises was amazing in regulare 2D, but when I saw it in IMAX, it was even more breathtaking. I understand Christopher Nolan’s appreciation of IMAX. It was worth the couple of extra dollars a ticket and I’m not a stockholder.
Genuine IMAX is worth the surcharge, unlike dim and eye-straining 3D.
