Batman "The Dark Knight"

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

How anyone could sit through Titanic is beyond me.

I was a Titanic buff long before '97.  Hearing of the beautiful accuracy of the ship is what drew me to watch the movie.

A Night To Remember was a much better film.

Yes, but that film portrayed the physical sinking of the ship in an inaccurate manner.

It has been a good ten years since I have seen A Night To Remember, they play it every now and then on Fox Movie Channel.

Kate Winslet's titties FTW.

if you want to talk about inflation then lets bring gone to the wind in this bitch .

with inflation Titanic might not be in the top ten all time. hell Gone has Titanics ww # just about With Domestic alone.

With inflation I think Bambi comes in first. Then the usual suspects such as Gone With The Wind and Star Wars.

[*Timothy*]

Naw , Gone is first with over 1.4 billion and the it's Star wars with over 1.2 Billion.
 


Dark Knight sells report .


"Dark Knight" Breaks Sales Records
By Garth FranklinThursday, December 11th 2008 12:04am
Over 600,000 Blu-ray copies and three million DVD copies of "The Dark Knight" have sold in the film's first day of release reports Deadline Hollywood Daily.

The previous Blu-ray record holder was "Iron Man" which took a week to sell 400,000 copies. Over seven million regular DVD copies of the film are expected to be sold by week's end.

To give you a comparison the bestselling DVD of last year was "Transformers" which sold nearly fourteen million units over the space of around twelve weeks. "Finding Nemo" is the best selling DVD of all time with 30 million copies sold as of last year.

Bambi clocks in at 3,3 billion if you go by the cpi.

60 years of the Federal Reserve can be a lot more than you think.

The most accurate thing would be admissions, but I haven't seen any numbers on that.

According to box office mojo " bambi is only at $451,084,100 which places it at # 46 domestically. not sure about world wide.

I'm talking world wide of course. I took the numbers from imbd and calculated them myself. With that SW and GWTW both land in the 2+ billion mark, with Titanic around 2 billion. TDK is a big film no doubt, but these other movies are historical events.

There are also different estimates depending on the source. Inflation isn't always cut and dry.

[*Timothy*]

ww you are probably right. you also have to take into account some of these films have had multiply rereleases in theater.

Warner's whole biggest film of the past decade is domestically though. Cause world wide it would only rank third .

Anyone want to talk about the actual movie, and how the two-disc dvd is a complete let down?

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I can't believe that I saw this film 3 times at the cinema and watched it on DVD and still never made the connection between Dent getting half his face covered in petrol/gasoline/whatever when he was tied to the chair and him getting that side of his face burned. I just thought half his face happened to catch fire. I had to find that out from Wikipedia. How didn't I get that?

My short attention-span aside, it's still a great film but one of those that's definitely even better on a big screen.

[Chief]

I decided to get it anyway, even though there aren't any interviews on the 2nd disc. i hope at least some of it is interesting...

[D]

I just bought the single disc.

I looked on the back and the extra disc looked pathetic.

I can't believe they possibly could've fucked up a great movie like this on the extras/bonus

Is there even a director's commentary?

[Chief]

i guess they're waiting for the extra special edition or something!

[polluxlm]

Brilliant, they push the br format at a higher price, then they release a lackluster dvd that they know the nerds are going to buy at least twice when additional editions are brought out. Nolan sits on his ass for 2 hours, give us another 30 bucks!

[D]

Does the Blu Ray have more extras?

[polluxlm]

No, they're both shitty, but at least the br got the picture and sound quality thing going for them.

I had a blu ray player for a while and I'll be honest, the new DVD players that have the chip or whatever that converts regular DVDS to look HD on HD Tv's for me are just as good.

I got my dark knight in one of those new DVD players and it looks HD on my HD TV and the sound through my Surround Sound system sounds amazing.

So Blu Ray is great don't get me wrong but I think for the price, regular DVD with the newer DVD players is close enough.

[*Timothy*]

^ that is pretty much why blue ray version sold 600,000 compared to the plain dvd version 3 million on the first day.

[Chief]

I think the main reason is that there are WAY more people with DVD players right now compared to blue ray.

[*Timothy*]

that one part , the price of the players is too damn high for some then the disc are too.

[D]

Yeah, I always used my PS3.

I don't know why u just wouldn't buy a PS3 instead of a stand alone Blu Ray. At least u are getting bang for your buck.
