What movie holds the current record? Spider-Man 3?

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End 4,362
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 4,260
Spider-Man 3 4,252
Shrek 2 4,163
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 4,133

With the 2.5 hour running time I could see it breaking the record for most theatres.

Awesome, maybe they'll add another 63 screens

I hope it beats Spider-Man 3 and Indy 4 just it did the last time in 1989, yeah yeah I know The Last Crusade made more than Batman worldwide in '89 but now in 2008 it hasn't even surpassed Iron Man.

For anyone with Direct-TV the channel Reelz is having some sort of TDK week starting Monday 14th.

So wait, more theatres than Spiderman 3, IMAX, and similar runtimes?

Financially... shouldn't this beat Spidey?!

Well there may have been more younger kids seeing Spider-Man 3, the longer runtime and more competition from movies could hurt TDK. But it probably will top SM3 despite that.

Wow... you have been coming across very bitter lately.

I mean I can't even remember the last time you came into a thread with the intentions of discussing/debating. Just more of the same crap - You really need to tone it down. It's just... annoying.

Stupid question. Does theater count refer to the actual number of theaters or screens. So if it's playing on three screens at a multiplex does that count for 1 or 3 theaters?

That's a good question, I'm not sure. I'm imagine it was screens?

That should count as 3 theatres.
