The most anticipated non-Brendan-Fraser movie of all time is here, and it’s time to make some bombastic predictions:

1) How much will Dark Knight gross at the box office this weekend (domestically)? Price is Right “going over” rules are not in effect.

2) What will the corresponding Variety headline be?

My Answers:

1) Bearing in mind that the all-time record belongs to Spider-Man 3 with $151,116,516, and that almost all you people waaaay overshot on Indiana Jones, I’m still gonna go with an all-time record: $176,181,400.

2) “Dark Knight swoops into record books”

“No Joke: Dark Knight breaks box office record”

“Why so prosperous?”

“(Bat)MAN that is a lot of money!”

“$170 million — Jot that down in the Ledger”

“The Dark Knight dresses up in white makeup and whimsically murders the box office record (the movie Dark Knight, I mean, not Batman himself cause that would be the opposite of what happened!)”

Leave your box office and pun headline predictions in the comments! I will now be retiring to my own personal Batcave (re: bed with sheet over my head) until the Sunday 6 pm IMAX show.
