Box Office: "The Dark Knight" -- UPDATE

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about "The Dark Knight" having a box office performance just shy of $1 billion. Well folks, after being re-released in various traditional and IMAX theaters in the U.S., the film has hopped the $1 billion hurdle!

As of today, the film's worldwide box office performance stands at $1.001 billion ~ including $533.1 million in U.S. cinemas and $468 million overseas.

"The Dark Knight" is the fourth highest-grossing film of all time, trailing behind "Titanic" ($1.84 billion), "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" ($1.12 billion), and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" ($1.07 billion).
