It’s happened somewhat quietly – Understandably, perhaps – but The Dark Knight Rises has overtaken the international gross of The Dark Knight this weekend; the third movie in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy has now made $487,800,000 outside the US, compared with the $468,576,467 total of the previous movie. Domestically, it’s lagging behind, with $409,916,000 in total US gross versus the $533,345,358 of The Dark Knight.
(For those looking to compare these numbers to Marvel’s The Avengers; there’s almost no comparison: That movie made $617,603,000 domestically, and $863,900,000 internationally this summer.)

You’re also comparing a 4 month run to a 1 month run.
