The Dark Knight Returns

by Liam on September 11, 2008 · Comments

A movie called The Dark Knight was released a month or two ago (you may have heard of it…it’s about Batman), and to date it has only made around $950 million, so Warner Bros. have decided to rerelease it in January. However, they are not only doing it for the money…

“It’s just a matter of bringing it back as a reminder for people,” a source told Variety

A reminder for people? Why would we need a reminder? Oh wait…it’s Oscar season…

Warners domestic distribution president Dan Fellman acknowledged ongoing talks with IMAX executives about the prospect of restoring the film to some number of giant-screen venues in January. It’s uncertain if The Dark Knight also will reappear in conventional theaters at that point.

It looks like Warner Bros are pushing for that Oscar for Ledger!

  • Now this is cool. I hadn't thought about why they wanted to re-release it, other than hopefully topping "Titanic" but it makes perfect sense. An Oscar push. I wonder if people would be down to seeing a double featuring with "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight".

    Pushing for an Oscar? How about pushing it to beat that 11 year old record held by Titanic in the US.
