THE Dark Knight is predicted to overtake Spider-Man as the highest grossing comic book film.
Ecstatic reviews, particularly for the late Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker, has box office expectations sky high.
US box office pundits predict the film will make more than $100 million in its first three days after it opens tomorrow.
Spider-Man made $413 million and is No. 7 on the all-time US box office chart.
In Australia The Dark Knight made $2,277,786 on its first day of opening on Wednesday on 472 screens.
Hoyts Cinemas marketing manager, Sara Hoogendoorn, said many sessions in Australia sold out on Wednesday.
"It is great to see that The Dark Knight did enjoy a very strong opening; especially given it opened on a Wednesday - and Victoria was out of school holidays," she said.
The takings were not an opening day record - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix made $4 million on the day it opened last year - but The Dark Knight did beat Spider-Man 3's opening day figure of $1.85 million last year and Casino Royale's first day of $1.42 million in 2006.
