The Dark Knight "Returns" in Theaters for its 10th Anniversary
A decade ago, Christopher Nolan delivers one of the best movies of all time. Not only that, but The Dark Knight is also the best comicbook movie sequel of all time. Domestically, the movie earned $534,858,444.00--making up 53.2% of the worldwide gross sales of $1,004,558,444.00. It ranked #1 in all 4,366 theaters the movie was shown and it lasted for 231 days or 33 weeks.

Showcase Cinemas, a US-based cinema house, recently announced that they will have The Dark Knight 10th anniversary screenings happening on Thursday, February 8 and Sunday, February 11. However, it was also announced that it will only happen in selected locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
Not to fret, The Dark Knight will celebrate its real 10th Anniversary on July 18, 2018. More cinemas will probably host screening events for the 10th Anniversary of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. Hopefully, we even get to do one here in the Philippines.
