The Dark Knight which reached $400 million in box office sales in record time, has become the second movie in history to gross over $500 million at the box office according to the AP.

The Batman sequel has raked in over $502.4 million in just over six weeks - half the time it took Titanic, the only other movie to gross over 500 million dollars in box office sales. Titanic ended at a total of $600,779,824 in gross ticket sales. Titanic was also released in 1997, when ticket prices were lower, resulting in a larger viewing audience.

Batman producers continue to be amazed by the success of their release and they predict that the movie will end up grossing between $530 and $550 million before it leaves the silver screen.
