$1,001,921,825.
That is how much money 2008's The Dark Knight grossed in worldwide sales. Who knows exactly how much the movie made in DVD sales and rentals.
The film is #3 on the Top Grossing Films in the United States, just falling short of Avatar and Titanic. I saw the movie in theatres twice and continue to watch the movie regularly. When the movie came out in theatres, promotional products such as custom imprinted playing cards and custom imprinted t-shirts were in high quantities. To this day, stores continue to sell items from the movie.
While news of a conclusion to the series has been known, no footage had been shown until this week. A trailer for the conclusion, Dark Knight Rises, was released earlier this week is leaving people spellbound (the linked video has 1,119,935 views as of December 20) but continues to leave more questions than answers. The trailer features nemesis Bane, a taste of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Joseph Gordan-Levitt as a young cop who helps out Batman.
What kind of promotional products will we see for Dark Knight Rises?
