We all knew The Dark Knight sequel was going to make over $100 million during the first weekend and many predicted it was going to break the previous record; and it did.

Christopher Nolan’s dark sequel took in $155.4 million in The Dark Knight’s opening weekend. The previous record, I believe, was held by Spider-Man 3 which made $151.1 million in the opening weekend.

But this weekend of breaking Hollywood movie records didn’t stop there. This weekend also topped the most the movie box-office has made in a three-day weekend. And yes, that includes all the movies like Mamma Mia which took in $27.6 million on it’s opening weekend.

The previous record was a $218.4 million weekend in July 2007 when Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest came out.

Wait, the records aren’t done yet. The Dark Knight is projected to make $220 million in its first week alone which would be more than what Nolan’s Batman Begins movie made in its entire U.S. run alone.

Hold on, there are a few more records to mention:

The Dark Knight had the biggest midnight release taking in $18.5 million, the biggest weekend on IMAX screens with $6.2 million, top single-day take on a Friday with $67.9 million and showed on the most screens at 4,366.

Now that’s what you call making an impact on your opening week!
