"The Dark Knight" has taken in $324.3 million at the North American box office so far and is on its way to becoming one of the biggest movies of all time.
Way to go, Warner Bros. It's already the studio's biggest film ever, surpassing the $318 million earned domestically by 2001's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
Now, if only some smart executive could figure out a way for Time Warner shareholders to benefit from all that success.
The stock of Time Warner, the movie studio's parent company, has languished for years, and even a box office superhero like Batman hasn't come to shareholders' rescue. Not yet, at least.
Shares of TW were at $14.70 on July 18, the opening day for "Dark Knight." They closed at $14.36 the following Monday, after the movie shattered the opening-weekend box office record. On Tuesday, the stock traded at $14.57.
