'DARK KNIGHT' BREAKS 8 RECORDS; $155.3M Weekend Will Beat 'Spidey 3'; But Rival Studios Questioning Numbers
SUNDAY AM: Warner Bros is reporting The Dark Knight will finish with a total North American weekend take of $155.3M. Here's the surprising studio breakdown: $67.8 million Friday, including those record-setting opening day midnight shows; $48 million Saturday (-29%), and projected $39.4 million Sunday (-18%). So if Sunday holds up, that FSS (Fri-Sat-Sun) non-holiday figure will be enough to snag the record from Spider-Man 3's $151.1 million. But it'll be close. The latest Batman installment did not set a rec
HEATH LEDGER - LEDGER'S DEATH SHOWS RISING PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE

Its first two weekend drops -- 53% and 42% -- may not seem sensational, but for a film that opened to $158 million, those numbers aren't half bad. The movie is s
