While we await the four-day holiday weekend estimates on Monday, Warner Bros. Pictures revealed that The Dark Knight became only the second movie in Hollywood history to surpass the $500 million mark at the domestic box office on Sunday, bringing its total to $502.4 million. Titanic, the biggest blockbuster, remains in first on the domestic chart with $600.8 million.

Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros., said he expects The Dark Knight to finish at about $530 million, though it could reach $550 million if business persists as strongly as it has.

The Christopher Nolan-directed sequel earned an estimated $19 million internationally from 62 markets this weekend. It has reached an international total of $416.7 million and $919.1 million worldwide, the 10th highest of all-time.

That is awesome!! I only wish that it could have sank that damn ship! Titanic sucked!! Everyone knew what was going to happen before they even went to the theater...the boat was going to sink! BUT with TDK, nobody knew what was going to happen. That is why it is sooo much better!!

Good for TDK, but in the case of breaking "Titanic"'s B.O. record, Wesley Snipes said it best in "White Men Can't Jump": "You were almost there."

No way it can pass Titanic. It's already slowing down. Seriously. STOP believing.

I loved TDK, but Titanic was a fantastic film and i personally would love for the highest grossing movie ever to remain a film of that calibur. Just because you knew the ending didn't make it bad. That movie was epic on many levels. So i hope it stays on top, but major props to Nolan and the batman team, you've earned this accomplishment.
