it may not have been to you, but this movie was no doubt bigger because tons are gonna flock to see his last performance...Im sure its a great movie and it was huge anyway because its another batman movie but no doubt if ledger hadnt croaked there def wouldnt have been as much hype
This movie has had the best advertising campaign ever. It is critically acclaimed and one heck of a roller coaster ride of a movie. It would have been big regardless, though I believe Heath's death did add to it somewhat. I think it was good for an at least extra 20 mil this opening weekend. Though the hype was huge regardless, even before his death.
The fact that Ledger is tits up makes me NOT want to see it.

This isn't his last performance. He was in the middle of shooting The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus when he passed away. That movie is in post production and should be released next year.
If I had one complaint, the fight scenes. The first Dark Knight had waaaaay better fight scenes. This one had too many "up close" parts and all you saw was just guys getting knocked down and a cape swirling around.
I would have saw the movie no matter what. The whole cast could have got wiped out and I still would have gone. Hype over someones death in any way did not make me want to see this movie. I believe there are more hard core Dark Knight fans that wanted to see this movie just because of the fanfare of the Batman series.
If the third one is still along the Two-Face scenerio...I believe it is time for Robin to show up. [richard] Grayson....and I hope they can find someone a hell of a lot better than Chris O'Donnell to play the part.
It made $66 million on opening day.
Given the way things went, I'm pretty sure Robin will have to show.
Another thing I caught, and I'm trying not to give away anything here.
"Mr. Reece", the guy who worked for Bruce and blackmailed...
Mr. Reece = Mysteries?
Mysteries = Joker?
I know he is supposed to be Edward Nigma but...
And the joke about getting scratched by cats or whatever...Catwoman?
I don't know...I'm sure after I watch it again I'll catch more clues that my be hidden in it.
And the pencil trick was classic, I loved it.
I thought joker in the nurse's uniform was hilarious. Overall I thought it was a great movie. And that has nothing to do with Ledger's death. If I can I'll go back at least one more time.
Yeah the whole bit as he was walking out of the hospital in the uniform I found hilarious as well.
Ledger looked good as a red headed nurse betty haha..
Even if he had lived, this performance would have still gone down in history. He nailed it, simple as that.
Mysteries isn't "Joker".. you should mean.. The Riddler!
Christian Bale, along with Chris Nolan, have both stated they will not bring Robin into this Batman franchise.
He really isn't needed.
