Advance sales are booming. Seats for midnight Friday IMAX screenings are getting hard to come by. And in New York and Los Angeles, moviegoers looking for a workaround on Craigslist to sellouts are being asked to fork over as much as three figures for a pair of opening-weekend tickets.

Exhibitor Relations is calling for a three-day opening of $184.5 million. BoxOffice.com is going all the way up to $198 million, a take that would put Dark Knight Rises tantilizingly close to The Avengers' mind-blowing, $207.4 million Friday-Sunday start from May.

The idea's already been advanced that The Dark Knight Rises will go down as the biggest-opening 2-D movie ever, possibly by having sold more tickets than The Avengers, regardless of whether it beats the pricier movie's debut record.
