Shattering all records, the one week sale, including consumer and rental sales of 'The Dark Knight' Blu-ray and DVD discs sold worldwide, total 13.5-million and is tipped to break 'Finding Nemo' DVD sales record, with Disney's animated film thehighest DVD best seller in Australia. A blockbuster hit, it has become an instant must-own classic, the best selling title for 2008 and already the year's number one movie on iTunes 2008 Chart.
The first major feature film to be shot in part using IMAX(R) cameras, it marks a revolutionary integration of film formats. From Academy Award(R) nominated filmmaker Christopher Nolan, with Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, it also features commanding performances from a number of Academy Award winners, such as, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Academy Award(R) Nominee Heath Ledger.
Having earned more than $1-billion at the box office worldwide, it is just behind 'Titanic', 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest', the fourth highest grossing movie of all time. Released five months after the Australian actor's tragic death, Ledger's performance is being hailed by critics, as worthy of a Best Actor Oscar.
