The Dark Knight by the Numbers

Warner Bros.' Batman: The Dark Knight is going to be H-U-G-E.

We mentioned last week that industry experts estimate a $130 million opening weekend for the flick (or possibly higher).

Here are more stats that prove just how big this weekend will be for the film:

- 4,366 screens across North America will be playing the Heath Ledger starring movie. Hollywood insiders say that's an industry record!

- Fandango (which sells tickets to more than 15,000 theater screens) reports that The Dark Knight accounts for an impressive 90% of all ticket sales for the upcoming weekend. Dayum! Hope y'all got your tickets early like we did!

- MovieTickets.com says The Dark Knight has sold out 700 performances in North America and is outselling 3 of MovieTickets.com's Top 10 Performing Films of All-Time. To date, the newest Batman has more than 3-times as many advance tickets as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, more than 2-times as many as Spider-Man 3 and almost 2-times as many as Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers at the same point in the sales cycle.

Big business.

We're very much looking forward to seeing the film!
