The Dark Knight Rises is still rising in the box office. Christopher Nolan’s finale in his Batman trilogy has currently pulled in $287,851,000 Stateside and in Europe $248,200,000 has gone through the box office, giving a grand total of $536,051,000. Over on this side of the pond, TDKR has pulled in over 2 Million Euros and over 22 Million pounds in the UK.
That magic billion dollar mark is still a long way off, and going into it’s second full week of release it still remains to be seen whether or not that billion dollar mark can be cracked. No doubt it’s in the next week or two that repeat viewings will start kicking in, and while it’s still an amazing movie, it doesn’t have the emotional punch it had on the first viewing.
