of course twilight is bigger than dark knight! I mean, it doesn't have a scary joker in it for one thing. I'm scared of clowns yet I LOVE vampires...I guess i'm just not normal!!!
Great blog buy the way and have a happy new year!!!
no they mean that since Twilight had a smaller budget they made a bigger profit. But more people went to see the Dark Knight so i dont think anyone is afraid of a joker? plus Heath Ledger is amazing in that movie!
The dark Knight is obviously the better movie here. Because Twilight didn't actually make more money the tweeny fan girls are resorting to things like statistics which has nothing to do with the quality of the movie. The fact that 170 million is four times the budget should say something in itself....Twilight was an okay movie but it isn't in the same realm as the dark knight. With a worldwide gross of 900 million and an American gross of 500 million it's the second highest grossing film of all time. In a year or so all the tween fan girls will have long forgotten Edward the sparkling vampire ,but Ledger's amazing performance will last for decades to come
