'The Dark Knight' Takes IMAX Box Office Record

The Hollywood Reporter has posted news that -- not all too surprisingly -- "The Dark Knight" has overtaken "The Polar Express" as the top first run box office draw for IMAX theaters, topping $55 million in ticket sales (completely eclipsing "Polar's" $45 million total), which adds to it juggernaut run of $925 million in total box office grosses.

Also in the "not surprisingly" category, IMAX chief Greg Foster said he would welcome any IMAX re-release of the Batman blockbuster in future years, should Warners see merit in such a plan. "That sounds like a really great idea," Foster said. "Ultimately, it's a decision that Warner Bros. has to make. We'd certainly support that," to which Warners said would be "a real possibility."
