The Hollywood movie "The Dark Knight" which was filmed in Hong Kong was officially released in Hong Kong on July 17 and grossed more than 3 million in box office revenue, making it the highest-grossing film on its opening day this year among both Chinese and Western films. The film also became the highest-grossing non-holiday opening day film in Hong Kong history. In the U.S., the film was officially released on the evening of the 18th, but its pre-sale situation was very ideal, breaking historical pre-sale records. Warner Bros. Pictures in the U.S. estimated that the film would gross nearly 160 to 170 million dollars in box office revenue, achieving remarkable results. The movie "The Dark Knight," which was released during the summer vacation peak season, premiered one day earlier in Hong Kong than in the U.S. on the 17th, attracting a large number of fans to watch the film in advance. The single-day box office revenue reached 3,355,957 Hong Kong dollars.
