Fantastic accomplishment - still boggles my mind.

[Captain Planet!]

Looks like WB won't need a bail-out.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Looks like WB won't need a bale-out.

Agreed.

Now if it can just get another 850 million it'll be number 1 worldwide!

Worldwide: $1,001,082,160

Hmmm...Pretty cool.

Spoiler

YAY!!!! *sings*
IT MADE A BILLION
IT MADE A BILLION
IT MADE A BILLION

WOOT WOOT *spins on head*

Totally deserved. Imagine if it came out in China, it would have had a good chance at beating POTC!
EDIT: wow, mega failure on my part...

Not just congratulations to those who worked on TDK, but congratulations to Batman as a character, he's hit yet another milestone in his 70 year life.

The first movie to cross the 1 billion line without an lead actor who is incredibly feminine!

Who would win this fight?

LOL. So true!

This is awesome news.

 

[Mister J]

I propose that the title of this thread be changed to reflect the newest huge milestone.

Since The Ace of Knaves was sporting enough of a chap to concur, let's open it up for suggestions.

 

[TLH]

"$1 billion: Come on, hit me!"

Well, that's what we have on the boxofficemojo forums anyway.

 

[BestGirl]

"$1 billion: Come on, hit me!"

Well, that's what we have on the boxofficemojo forums anyway.

"All you care about is money: TDK reaches $1 billion mark"

or

"TDK makes $1billion: I like that"

 

[batman44]

Awesome, congrats to WB, Nolan, and all those who worked on TDK.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Someone MUST manip Christopher Nolan's head over Dr. Evil's body.

 

[StylishHokie21]

I never doubted for a second that would reach $1 billion.

Nevermind. THIS must be the thread title.

Not to kill the party,but does this movie making a Billion dollars make you guys' week or something? It's a nice achievement, but the quality of the movie isn't judged by how much moola it makes. I guess I don't understand why it's such a momentous occasion, or am I missing something? We all know it's a great movie,I enjoyed it thoroughly, I don't think it making a $itload of money validates anything.

It's the 4-th movie in history to do it...from thousands of movies only 4 have done it...and this is the first comic book movie in history to achieve it.

Plus it was on the verge of the billion for about 4 months so we were all waiting for this for a while now.

I agree that if the movie was bad no ammount of money would have made up for it but in this case it's one of the very few that actually deserves it.
