Batman: The Dark Knight Breaks Midnight Madness Record

This movie will probably be the top grosser this summer.

So far, The Dark Knight has the midnight record, topping 2005's Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith ($16.5 million) and, with its 4,366 theaters, the widest-release record, besting 2007's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (4,362).

I know of several people that went to see it opening night but I'm not sure if they got in or not. I'm planning on seeing it sometime next week or the week after. However I think the people below are just plain nuts. I mean the movie will be out for months and then be in DVD form before the end of the year.

A quick search reveals similar ads are up in areas such as Dallas, where someone was trying to get $80 for four midnight tickets to a theater in Plano, Texas, and Raleigh, North Carolina, where a buyer was willing to pay $40 for two $12 adult admissions to a Friday night show there.
