The Dark Knight continues to shatter record on its way to what is likely to be the biggest 3 day opening in U.S. box office history.

The movie already set a new benchmark for biggest take from midnight showings - it made $18.4 million, surpassing the $16.9 million record previously set by Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Now, the new Batman film has surpassed Spider-Man 3's $59.8 million to have the biggest grossing day in North American box office history EVER.

The Dark Knight took in $66.4 million yesterday.

We should know by tomorrow morning whether it sets the 3-day record, but it's looking like a big YES.
