Iron Man started the summer on May 2, and The Dark Knight signified the end with its release on July 18. Based on what we've seen in recent weeks - and the uninspiring upcoming release calendar - that's how Hollywood is marking the season these days.
After two weekends, the only question remaining about The Dark Knight's box-office prowess is whether it will become the all-time domestic champion, toppling Titanic. It's unlikely, but Christopher Nolan's second Batman movie is a very good bet to unseat Star Wars from second place, as long as we don't consider pesky factors such as inflation.Subscribe & Listen to Reader Podcasts
