In contrast to "Avatar" and "Titanic" — both which grossed more than "The Dark Knight" in North America and had slow but steady earnings — "The Dark Knight" broke records in its opening weekend and slowed down significantly after its first few weekends. Overseas, "The Dark Knight" is the highest-grossing 2008 film and the fourth-highest-grossing superhero film. It premiered in 20 other territories on 4,520 screens, grossing $41.3
