The Dark Knight breaks single day box office record with $66.4 million. It beat out the previous record of $59.8 million set by Spider-Man 3.

It also picked up a record $18.5 million ticket sales for preview screenings.

"The film will likely break the opening weekend record of $151.1 million set by the Spider-Man movie, said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros."

BoxOfficeMojo has the July 18-20 weekend box office gross at $155.3 million for The Dark Knight, but the weekend hasn't ended yet!

"Only 10 other movies have crossed the $100 million domestic box-office mark in their first weekends."

The Dark Knight was definitely a great movie. It did not disappoint. I went to see the midnight showing and it was worth it. If you haven't seen it... go see it! It has a imdb rating of 9.7 with 46, 915 votes and a 94% on the Tomatometer as of writing this. This is a good year of movies...Wanted, Wall-E, Iron Man...
