Warner Bros.' superhero pic becomes only the 13th pic in history to hit that number.

Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises is a billion dollar baby.

From Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, the superhero tentpole has now grossed $431.2 million domestically and an estimated $574 million internationally for a total $1.005 billion through Sunday.

That's slightly ahead of The Dark Knight, which topped out at $1.003 billion worldwide in 2008.

The big difference -- Dark Knight Rises has done more business overseas, and less domestically, than Dark Knight, which grossed $533 million in North America and $469.7 million internationally.

Many believe that Dark Knight Rises has left some money on the table in the U.S. because of the Aurora theater shootings during a midnight screening of the film on July 20.

Nevertheless, the movie is enormously successful and becomes only the 13th film in history to reach $1 billion, two of which (James Cameron's Titanic and Avatar) have surpassed $2 billion.

Movie of the year

[Callum]

impressive for a movie which had no 3D release

[Nicole]

loved it

[Loghen]

Very deserved.

[BnPac]

Amazing. I didn't like it that much the first time, at least not as much as I liked it the 2nd time. Nolan did a good job.

[musicman27]

Awesome the film more than deserves it.

[RCL]

I HAVE YET TO SEE IT .. CONGRATZ THOUGH

[Navin]

Highest Grossing of the trilogy

[YourMadGesty]

Awesome.
It's definitely one of those movies that must be seen in the theaters first

[CountryFriedChick]

Impressive I really was hoping for a shot at >500 million domestically though. I really do wonder how much that shooting impacted the movie. I think the olympics certainly had a negative effect as well but didn't the Dark Knight also come out a few weeks before the Olympics back in 2008? Certainly impressive WW gross though

With no 3D ticket price boost

[InsureTer]

Chile, why do some of you think a movie of today won't sell without 3D? The general public could careless. They'll see a movie with, or without that pointless ass 3D ****.

Its not that people think it won't sell but 3D= more money earned per ticket.

Honey, I know this. You're not telling me anything new. Of course 3D earn more money when they're charging 13 dollars per ticket.
