"The Dark Knight" grossed the most ever for midnight shows. The film racked up an estimated $18.5 million.
The follow-up to 2005's "Batman Begins" outstripped the previous midnight record set by "Star Wars, Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith" which grossed $16.9 million from 3,663 venues. "Sith" went on to make $50 million in its first day, which was a Thursday. The highest single day opening record is currently held by "Spider-man 3" which made $59.8 million.
"Dark Knight" unspooled in a record number of sites - 4,366 - outstripping the wide bow of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" which touted a theater count of 4,362.
Warner Bros reported that the $18.5 million did not include 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM.
