“The Dark Knight Rises” Box Office: Biggest non – 3D Opening Weekend

July 22, 2012 1:23 pm

Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” set a record this weekend–biggest opening for a non 3D movie. Got that? Warner Bros. is not releasing box office figures in deference to the Aurora, Colorado victims and survivors. But the news is out that “TDKR” will end up between $160 and $162 million including the $30.6 million Thursday overnights. More on the box office tonight when all the numbers are in.
