\n\"darkknight-twilight.jpg\"<\/span>Okay, I promise (maybe) that this is my last post (or, one of my last posts) about “Twilight<\/a>” for 2008. (Of course, as you know, 2008 ends Wednesday night, bringing a whole near year of possibilities…)<\/p>\n

I couldn’t resist mentioning this little factoid that I saw in the article, “Twilight Was Bigger than Dark Knight?!<\/a>” on E! Online, which states the following:<\/p>\n

With a $167.3 million overall domestic take as of Sunday, per Box Office Mojo, “Twilight” made more than four times its reported $37 million production budget–the best rate of return on any film in the 2008 Top 10, including “The Dark Knight.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The Dark Night” technically made more money ($185 million budget with a $530.8 million domestic take), but “Twilight” did better in terms of investment for profit. “Twilight” was even #8 on the list of Top 10 Grossing Films of 2008. <\/p>\n
