Summer 2008 its being dominated without a doubt by Batman the Dark Knight. It may be because of the controversy created by the Joker's interpreter Heath Ledger's death, but I thing it is because of the great performance he and his companions did. It's a very good movie, and he consagrated himself with this roll. Anyway, "The Dark Knight" surpassed Hollywood's previous best opening weekend of $151.1 million set last year by "Spider-Man 3."
