Batman Still Kicking Butt

For its third week running The Dark Knight has come out on top in the US Box Office beating out the newly released The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor by a cool $1.4M USD to gross $43.8M. The new X-Files movie (The X-Files: I Want To Believe) comparatively bombed by making a measly $3.4M giving 20th Century Fox another financial failure in the wake of the terrible Meet Dave.

Anyone taking bets for TDK being the fourth film ever to reach the golden $1 billion USD mark worldwide? Currently Titanic is sitting pretty after grossing $1.84B USD worldwide back in 1997, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is in second place with $1.13B USD and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest just scraped it in with $1.06B USD. Of course none of those figures have been adjusted for inflation... Google it if you really want to know.
