Will The Dark Knight make over 450 million in domestic box-office?
The Dark Knight is the fastest film to reach 200 million. It took only five days, and while films these days tend to burn out fast one must wonder if this film has the legs to surpass most records.
The Dark Knight made 24 million on Monday, and 20 million on Tuesday. There is only one other film to make more on a Tuesday and that was Transformers of last year. The difference to this number is it was Transformers first day, and it was the day before July 4th. (A huge American holiday.)
In further comparison, films like Spider-Man 3 (previous holder before Batman for fastest to 150 million), Pirates 2 (last film to make over 400 million), and Shrek 2 (made over 400 million, and is the third largest domestic gross of all time) all made around 10 million a day on the week days proceeding its first weekend. The Dark Knight is literally making double the amount of these other films!
Almost always, films in their second weekend make half of what they made in the first weekend.
The Dark Knight made 158 million its first weekend. That means this next weekend it should make around 80 million.
On Wednesday lets say it only makes 15 million, as well as on Thursday. By the end of next weekend The Dark Knight will have made around 313 million in 10 days!
Other films on the horizon, X-Files 2 and Mummy 3 in my opinion will have a hard time. X-Files 2 is not well advertised, and much like Mission: Impossible:3 must fight an uphill battle and it will be lucky to make over 100 million. Mummy 3 will probably do fairly well in its first weekend, but I personally have a hard time seeing it making more than Hancock (roughly 200 million at most). Then we have three rated R comedies, Step Brothers, Pineapple Express, and Tropic Thunder which shouldn't really touch Dark Knight at all.
The Dark Knight will easily make over 400 million, the real question is will it beat Pirates 2, Phantom Menace, E.T, Shrek 2...or even Star Wars?
Pretty exciting stuff I must say.

You Are Dead-Play Again?
I stored all my past work for now. I want the focus to be on my new project since it has a constant them of Mtn Dew. I really enjoy trying all the Mtn Dew flavors, and I have decided to dedicate what art skills I have to bringing these flavors to life. Hopefully some of you enjoy the idea and follow along on the ride.
The Fall of Tomb Raider
I need to stop looking at my old journal entry, and since I have facebook currently deactivated I needed to vent somewhere, so...
My very best wishes that Rise of Tomb Raider fails for screwing over its playstation fan base. What kind of money did Microsoft have to give you to screw over the the majority of your fans who loved the 2013 game? (yes, it sold better on PS3 and PS4.)
Always more games to play then I have time, but I was set to buy this, now I probably never will.
The Hunger Games is Lame My Poor Little Children
If you read the book it seems like you will like it decently. If you did not read the book like me then you will clearly see that the movie fails to properly explain itself. The characters are fairly boring and their interactions barely become interesting.
While watching 'The Hunger Games' I couldn't help but think I could have been watching Gladiator again, and actually enjoying myself.
They have such similar ideas. Slaves forced into killing games, audiences that find it entertaining and government heads that struggle to keep the popularity of the people due to the noble exploits of the main character. The difference is Maximus is a m
Your Spirit Technically
I was randomly searching dA earlier today. I stumbled upon an art submission that others used as a platform to demean religion. Later on I decided to watch 'The Green Mile' for the first time in about five years. Being a movie that centers on spiritual mystics I began to ponder the reality of what a soul is, and how it is declared in a piece of art.
I felt like typing these thoughts down and sharing them with you.
I respect anyone's personal beliefs. If someone doesn't believe in religion, or God I can respect that. There are infinite ways to be a good, productive person in our mortal society. However, I wonder, is it possible to deny
