If the first week's box office receipts are any indication of the future, then "The Dark Knight" is likely to break records for the most tickets sold for a major motion picture.
Fans worldwide stood in long lines in hopes of being able to see the dark Batman thriller that features the late Heath Ledger as The Joker. This was Ledger's final film before his tragic, untimely death. Much of the reason ticket sales are so high is likely due to the macabre element involved, sort of a "James Dean Syndrome," where a promising star who died at a young age is catapulted to greater fame than when he was alive.
From all accounts by both fans and critics, Ledger actually gives a very layered, skilled performance as The Joker and some are even declaring that his work in "The Dark Knight" is Oscar-worthy.
The fact is that it is nearly impossible to get tickets to this movie now.
As expected, if there's an opportunity for the unscrupulous to make some bucks , they will certainly take advantage of it. Reportedly Craigslist has some folks offering tickets to this film for $150 a pop.
Would you pay this much or not?
