Box Office Results: Mamma Mia! vs The Dark Knight

Well it was no surprise this weekend as to who claimed the throne. The Dark Knight pulled $158.4 million, breaking Spiderman 3's record of $151.1 million. And if that wasn't enough, it also broke the single day record of $59.8 million, set by Spiderman 3, by posting a huge $67.9 million on its opening day. Despite these records, this actually sucks for del Toro's Hellboy II, which is taking a huge hit because it is in direct competition to the caped crusader. Hellboy II like The Dark Knight, is also getting really good reviews, just bad release timing I presume.

Actual Top 5:
The Dark Knight: $158.4 million
Mamma Mia!: $27.8
Hancock: $14 million
Journey to the Center of the Earth: $12.3 million
Hellboy II: The Golden Army: $10.1 million

My Predictions:
The Dark Knight....120 million
Mamma Mia.....24 million
Hellboy II: The Golden Army....17 million
Hancock.....13 million
Journey to the Center of the Earth: 12 million
