The Dark Knight still has the opening weekend box office record... but by a bigger margin. According to Variety, The Dark Knight's final opening weekend tally turned out to be $158.3 million, $3 million more than the initial estimate of $155.3 million.

The $158.3 million haul was more than enough to break Spider-Man 3's opening weekend record of $151.1 million last May. The records didn't stop there as the entire weekend broke the three-day combined record of more than $250 million, with The Dark Knight's total leading the way and Mamma Mia!'s second-place finish of $27.6 debut. That record was previously held by the July 7-9 2006 weekend, which took in $218.4 million altogether, where Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest led the way with a then-record opening weekend gross of $135.6 million.

The Dark Knight also broke records for the highest single day and highest opening day with a whopping $67.8 million. Part of that total was from midnight screenings, which accounted for $18.5 million, which itself broke the midnight screening record held by Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith's $16.9 million from midnight shows in 2005. The Dark Knight was also released in a record-breaking rollout in 4,336 theaters and it's said that the Christopher Nolan film could gross as much as $220 million by the end of the week.
