Dec 2 2008UPDATED: That's That for Batman (in Theaters)
I hope you got your watching Batman on a giant screen out of the way this summer: Warner Bros. has dropped plans for its January rerelease of The Dark Knight in IMAX theaters. Worse yet for people who care a bizarre amount about box office profits, the film has earned $996.1 million worldwide, so it looks like, without the rerelease, its gross is going to fall just shy of a billion dollars. Unless their Dark Knight candy drive is incredibly successful.
UPDATE: Never mind. It's still happening. (Thanks, ed)

I still haven't seen it. I will buy the blu-ray next Tuesday. And like they stop counting their money once it's out of theaters...DVD, rentals, VOD etc....lots of cash to make yet.

I thought it would be odd for them to bring it back anyhow. Not that I would mind seeing it a hundred more times. I'm a huge dork.

By the title of this post, I seriously thought there was some definitive information out there stating there wouldn't be a third Bale/Nolan movie. I just about had a heart attack.

I'm glad it's still coming back, for a moment I was afraid they caved to those crazy bastards in Batman, Turkey.
