The Dark Knight, which took in about $531 million domestically, topped the 2008 box office rankings, whose total will fall short of 2007's records, the wire services reported. |
Through New Year's Eve, 2008 domestic revenues are expected to come in just shy of 2007's record of $9.7 billion, The Dark Knight shattered the record for best opening weekend and was far and away the year's biggest success. Iron Man came in second, with $318.3 million. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull followed closely with $317 million. The year's other big hits encompassed animation, fantasy and science fiction: Hancock, Quantum of Solace, Wanted and WALL*E, as well as Twilight. | |
