Another Titanic Weekend for Dark Knight
Warner Brothers
Next up: $400 million.
The Dark Knight was primed to enter a stratosphere reached by only seven films in Hollywood history after grossing an estimated $75.6 million this weekend, and surpassing $300 million domestically in record time.
Among the box office also-rans, Will Ferrell got his mojo back, while Scully and Mulder had theirs abducted.
More than anyone, Batman was again the man. Where once a $400 million overall take for the latest Caped Crusader adventure was considered a possibility, now it's considered a lock.
"Certainly, $400 million, boom, that's going to happen," Media by Numbers box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian said today.
"The trajectory it's on has never before been seen. This is absolutely unprecedented."

Here's an elementary bit of casting.
Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell are set to star as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in the latest addition to the Judd Apatow canon, a comedy inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tales of the brilliant pipe-smoking sleuth and his reliable partner in crime solving.
Tropic Thunder scribe Etan Cohen is penning the script for Columbia Pictures. Apatow and manager Jimmy Miller will produce.

Will Ferrell may be a big jokester, but his latest endeavor is no laughing matter. The Semi-Pro star is one of many celebs (along with Jennifer Aniston) who are participating in public service announcements to help end human-rights violations in Burma and free imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi.
I can exclusively tell you that Ferrell’s PSA will debut online tomorrow at BurmaItCantWait.org as a kickoff for the Human Rights Action Center and U.S. Campaign for Burma’s new celebrity PSA program.
