    Warner Bros. will re-release The Dark Knight on January 23, 2009 in a nationwide launch, guaranteeing that it will become the fourth film to take in more than $1 billion in worldwide box office, reports Variety.

    The film has earned $530.3 million domestically and $465.9 million internationally, leaving it less than $4 million short of the billion-dollar milestone. Only Titanic, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest have topped that mark.

    The Dark Knight also is the second-highest domestic grosser of all time, trailing only Titanic.

    The re-release will come six weeks after the DVD and Blu-ray Disc launch of The Dark Knight, set for Tuesday (12/9).

    Dan Fellman, president of Warner's domestic distribution, made the announcement Thursday. "We wanted to provide one more opportunity for moviegoers to experience it on the bigscreen as it was meant to be seen," he added.

    I'd probably go watch it if this happens here, as I didn't see it at a cinema.

    I'll go again. It'll be the third or fourth time I've seen it in a theater, though. And then afterward, I'll go buy it. :lol:

    It could possibly push it over the 1 billion mark, which is incredible. Also, for Oscar season.
