Batman Kicks Spiderman's Ass

"The Dark Knight" has set a new box office record, hauling in a whopping $155.34 million and beating "Spider-Man 3" as the biggest opening weekend of all time.

Starring the late Heath Ledger as The Joker and Christian Bale as Batman, the film set a new opening day record earning $66.4 million, again beating the record set by "Spider-Man 3", and also earned the best ever weekend in IMAX theaters taking $6.2 million.

Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros, said, “We knew it would be big, but we never expected to dominate the marketplace like we did,” adding that studio estimates put it passing the $200 million mark by the end of the week.
