When I saw The Dark Knight on opening weekend, I was surprised when the 9am showing was packed, and even more surprised when I came out of the theater that lines had already formed for showings starting two hours later. After last weekend, the Dark Knight slid into the #2 Box Office Gross position at $477 million, surpassing Star Wars at $460 million, and just below Titanic at $600 million. But what is it that keeps bringing audiences in droves to see this movie, week after week?
Now, I saw the The Dark Knight, but honestly, I had a much more enjoyable time watching Iron Man. Of course, it just may be that people need something to watch, and something good like the Dark Knight must be better than some of the crap in the movie theaters right now (I'm looking at you, Clone Wars).
