Dark Knight hits half-billion mark in America

Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight has become only the second film in Hollywood history to cross the GBP270 million mark at the US box office.

The record-breaking film, starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger, has taken just six weeks to reach the half-billion figure - half the time it took Titanic, which remains the only film to have made more at the U.S. domestic box office.

After Sunday’s estimates, The Dark Knight has now made a total of GBP271.5 million.
