“Batman” movie to keep awake film fanatics

Tickets for the new Batman movie “The Dark Knight” are so in demand, movie theaters across the country plan to stay open all night with showings of the film, Star Pulse informs.

The movie officially opens next week and has sparked a frenzy among die-hard fans and those who want to catch a glimpse of the late Heath Ledger's highly-anticipated performance as The Joker as early as possible.

Some movie theaters across the U.S. have added 6am screenings for film fanatics who can't be accommodated at the earlier midnight and 3am showings.

Online ticket vendor Fandango.com reports over 1,500 showings for The Dark Knight have been added to theater schedules across America. In a recent survey, the website estimated 38 per cent of ticket buyers planned to take time off work to see the superhero flick.

Batman Begins, the series' last installment, earned over $200 million at the U.S. box office after opening in the summer of 2005.
