The Dark Knight Becomes the 2nd Highest Grossing Film in History

It's official.  The Dark Knight has surpassed Star Wars to become the 2nd highest grossing domestic film of all time.  The question now remains how much more money can The Dark Knight make?  Can it break Titanic's box office all time dominance, or come in just below?  Right now I'm thinking it's going to come in just below Titanic, but don't count The Dark Knight out.  It has already broken almost every other record set before it.  After four straight weeks atop the Box Office it has finally fallen to the number two spot with Tropic Thunder reigning supreme this weekend.  What's really ironic is that the same weekend that The Dark Knight outgrosses Star Wars to become the second highest grossing film, it also comes out on top of the new Star Wars animated film at the box office.  Oh, how Lucas must be hating Christopher Nolan at the moment. Bravo! Dark Knight.  And keep on truckin'.
