‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Passes $100 Million In IMAX – Second Film To Do So
Sep 4th
Closely following the news that the exhilarating finale to Christopher Nolan’s Batman saga has reached the $1 billion milestone, IMAX and Warner Bros have just announced that ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ has passed the $100 million global box office mark in 557 IMAX theatres worldwide after its 7th week of release. As of September 3rd, the third and final Dark Knight film reached a total of $65.1 million from 332 IMAX screens in the US and $37.3 million from 225 IMAX screens internationally. These figures include box office receipts from China, which began playing ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ on August 27th in 75 IMAX theatres. ”The Dark Knight Rises: The IMAX Experience” is still playing in IMAX theatres worldwide. For full theatre locations and showtimes head on over to IMAX.com/Theatres. ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ represents the second IMAX DMR® film to cross this $100 million milestone, after James Cameron’s ‘Avatar.’
For the previous film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, ’The Dark Knight,’ Nolan was the first filmmaker to use IMAX cameras in a major motion picture release. Nolan employed the extremely high-resolution cameras even more extensively on “The Dark Knight Rises: The IMAX Experience” – including the film’s gripping prologue – incorporating a record of more than an hour of footage filmed with IMAX cameras. These specific sequences, which expand to fill the entire screen exclusively in IMAX, deliver unprecedented crispness and clarity and a truly immersive experience for moviegoers. ’The Dark Knight Rises’ sees Christian Bale returning to the dual role of Bruce Wayne and Batman alongside series regulars Commissioner Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), and Alfred (Michael Caine). Newcomers to Nolan’s Batman saga include Anne Hathaway’s Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s John Blake, Marion Cotillard’s Miranda Tate, Matthew Modine’s Foley, Ben Mendelsohn’s Daggett, and Tom Hardy’s dastardly, physically imposing and oddly charismatic villain, Bane.
