LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Batman outwitted a pair of stoners to lead the North American box office for a fourth weekend on Sunday, becoming the third-biggest movie of all time.
“The Dark Knight” sold about $26.0 million worth of tickets during the three days beginning Friday, taking its haul to $441.5 million after 24 days, said Warner Bros. Pictures.
The superhero sequel now ranks at No. 3 on the all-time list, behind “Titanic” with $601 million and “Star Wars” with $461 million.
But adjusted for inflation, the Caped Crusader ranks more modestly at No. 49, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo. The 1939 epic “Gone With the Wind” wins by that measure with $1.4 billion in today’s dollars.
