Saw it yesterday. Heath Ledger's praise is well deserved.

That's the biggest opening for a film in motion picture history, beating out the previous record held by "Spider-Man 3," which grossed $151.1 million during its opening weekend in May 2007.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121655601895068217.html?mod=yahoo_buzz">Batman's latest bout with the Joker also helped spur what has become the biggest overall weekend at the box office, with total weekend ticket sales estimated well over $250 million. That figure handily beats the previous record of $218.4 million, set in July 2006, when Walt Disney Co.'s "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" opened. This weekend's performance was also boosted by the strong opening of "Mamma Mia!" from <A href="http://online.wsj.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=ge" class="times rolloverQuote">General Electric</A> Co.'s Universal Pictures, which sold an estimated $27.6 million in tickets.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C5BA51FE-CF4B-4890-B73A-E981ECD42B1D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
