1997 these were the best picture nominees.

As Good as It Gets, James L. Brooks, Bridget Johnson and Kristi Zea, producers (TriStar)
The Full Monty, Uberto Pasolini, producer (Fox Searchlight)
Good Will Hunting, Lawrence Bender, producer (Miramax)
L.A. Confidential, Arnon Milchan, Curtis Hanson and Michael Nathanson, producers (Warner Bros.)
Titanic, James Cameron and Jon Landau, producers (Paramount and 20th Century Fox)

Titanic didn't have much competition.

Not for best picture, but then again, neither was Titanic. L.A. Confidential was really good.

Took me 3 times watching that movie to finally get it

I guess Kate Winslet's tits pushed it over the edge?

To get us caught up:

The Dark Knight has earned a total of 441 million dollars (domestic), good enough for third enough on the all-time list, and 263 million abroad, which equals a total of about 705 million total.

It is less than 20 million dollars away from passing Star Wars and moving to number 2 all- time.

After the same number of days, Titantic had brought in 198 million.

The Dark Knight has recorded:

The largest Days: (1-14), (16-19), (23-24)
The second largest Days: 15, 21, 22
The third largest Day: 20

Weekend Breakdown:

First Weekend: 158 million
Second Weekend: 75 million
Third Weekend: 42 million
Fourth Weekend: 26 million

TDK has now entered Titanic's area of strength, and it isn't doing to good of a job in comparison.

TDK made $16,780,000 this weekend, it's 5th.

By comparison, Titanic made $30 million in it's 5th weekend, by far the highest grossing 5th weekend of all-time

TDK's weekend's are starting to fall in comparison with the all-time numbers. It had the highest grossing 1st & 2nd weekends, but each weekend since, it has fallen further down the lists.

1st Weekend - #1 all time

2nd weekend - #1 all time

3rd weekend - #2 all time

4th weekend - #3 all time

5th weekend - #4 all time

TDk is going to have to settle with "just" being the 2nd highest grossing movie of all-time
