I doubt Titanic has anything to worry about but if next weekend is strong enough, maybe.
Even with a huge second weekend number this was still a 40%+ drop over the previous weekend (and Friday was down 60% from the opening Friday). Do that again and through next weekend and TDK is up to about $387 million. Another week with a similar drop it is at $422 million and slim changes at making it anywhere close to $600 million.
But then it really doesn't have any genre competition coming. Other than The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor there aren't any new action movies out until Labor Day.
Titanic got where it did with amazing legs. I can't imagine TDK having anything clsoe to that staying power, but then it started with a huge head start over Titanic. Where TDK is the fastest to $300 million, Titanic is the 16th fastest, but only 3 of the 15 films that make it to $300 faster than Titanic made it as far as $400 million, none made it to $500 million. It'll be interesting to watch from a pure horse-race perspective but I think Titanic is safe.
