THE DARK KNIGHT SMASHES ANOTHER RECORD

THE DARK KNIGHT has shattered yet another U.S. box office record after passing the $400 million (GBP200 million) mark in just 18 days.

CHRISTIAN BALE stars as Bruce Wayne

Shrek 2 previously held the record by taking $400 million in 43 days in 2004 - and now the Batman Begins sequel has hit the target in less than half the time.

The action-packed superhero film is the eighth biggest film ever and is on course to steal the box office crown from Titanic, which made $600 million (GBP300 million) at the U.S. box office.

In its first 18 days, Titanic made $160.5 million (GBP80.25 million).
