This is where foriegn box office matters. Then there promotions income like fast food, potatos chips, soda etc ect, toys, video games, bedding, towels, lamps other crap etc etc. Then there DVD sales, rentals, PPV, digital downloads and cable.

Now assuming you want the box office to pay for the movie and have everything else be gravy then the Dark Knight would have to make about $400 mil to break-even. It will do that in the US alone. So even the foriegn box office wil be gravy.

Did you know Bale is Welsh? Did you hear an accent? Bale is a good actor. Go listen to him talk in real life and tell me he sucks.
