The Dark Knight has cruised past the $1 billion mark - becoming only the fourth movie to do so.
The Batman sequel, which starred Christian Bale as Batman and the late Heath Ledger as The Joker, has now made $1.1 billion since its release last summer.
Warner Bros president Dan Fellman said, "From our initial record-shattering opening weekend to the unprecedented momentum of the film's box office run, we could not be more proud of The Dark Knight.
"We salute our filmmakers, cast and crew on making cinematic history."
The other films to have passed that mark are Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The final Lord of the Rings film and Titanic - which is the most highest grossing movie of all time ($1.8 billion).
Ledger's performance as The Joker was rewarded with a posthumous Oscar at Sunday's ceremony.
