You're Just a Freak...Like Me
So tomorrow is the big day. Its finally here...Heath Ledgers last movie and possibly the best Batman movie ever made. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Most critics are estimating that Dark Knight will be the third highest grossing film of all time with and estimated $130 million in the first two days. Here are some "bet you didn't know's":
1)Tickets for midnight screenings sold out so many weeks in advance that thousands of theaters across the US began to open 3 AM and 6 AM showings to accommodate moviegoers.
2)Due to the huge demand to see the trailer, Warner Bros. allowed fans to fill hundreds of theaters around the country to maximum capacity to watch the new trailer just days before it was set to debut with Iron Man. Fans quickly filled the theater, watched the 2 minute 30 second trailer, and left.
3)An explosion was filmed at the Battersea Power Station in London. The fireball created calls from panic-stricken local residents, who assumed a terrorist attack was on the out-of-use Station.
This movie, just by watching the trailers, looks unlike any other movie I've seen.
Without a doubt, The Dark Knight will be the movie to see this summer. Moviegoers will have to order their tickets fast, as most theaters will be selling out sooner than usual.
I'll be back blogging about this movie very soon I'm sure.
