Well, after it releases on dvd/blu-ray, then its least likely it'll reach Titanic. (Like I really care anyways)

I'll go to the IMAX again.

After it's released on home video, what's the point?

It's not going to catch Titanic.

Oscar voters suffer from long-term memory loss.

So Warner is that scared that the Oscars are going to forget about them? How could they? It's the most talked about movie this year.

Oh well, it'd be better around Christmas, I might go see it during the break, but in January? holidays are over and I'm back at work.

This kind of stuff happens all the time in January. Nothing new. It's to draw up excitment for oscars again, thats all, many have done this.

To make sure Oscar Academy members are aware of Heath Ledger's performance for nomination (Hopefully for Lead Actor his performace was suited for that instead of Supporting Actor) leading up to awards show in Late February. There are at least 6,500 members (Actor, directors, press, film crtics, etc.) and the DVD's will also be distributed to them. That's what's it's all about: To get Oscar gold.

Mid-January to February is typically a slow time of the year for new good movies. Maybe Warner Brothers has nothing better to offer.

This site is suggesting that it might be IMAX theatres only:

Warners domestic distribution president Dan Fellman acknowledged ongoing talks with IMAX executives about the prospect of restoring the film to some number of giant-screen venues in January. It's uncertain if The Dark Knight also will reappear in conventional theaters at that point.

I would assume its an Imax thing -- re-releasing a movie in theatres the month after the video release is very odd and fairly pointless. With Harry Potter getting pushed back and everything else getting juggled around, Imax theatres were going to have a problem in January... and this works well enough as Imax "filler."

yeah really if the re-release gets on the gossip movie/celb shows everynight and they take another look it'll be worth it ... great movie!

I can almost guarantee it'll be supporting. Supporting is much easier to win. The studio wants a win, not just a nom.

I'd go see it again once more in imax theaters. Also it seems that the oscar voters do seem to forget movies that were released early in the year when they do their votes. It will rock on blu as well!

C'mon Batman. You can beat that farce that is Titanic. Like that guy out of the Waterboy, "You can do EET!"

Someone who can quote an Adam Sandler movie shouldn't be talking down about ANY film...

I disagree.

It's currently only sitting about 70 million back of Titanic.

Dark Knight in Imax only would probably make that up in a weekend.
