MUMBAI: Warner Bros. Pictures will be re-releasing The Dark Knight in IMAX Big Cinemas on 20 February, 2009.

Nolan’s revolutionary use of IMAX cameras to film some of the most challenging action sequences was a first for a major feature film.

Originally released on 18 July, 2008, The Dark Knight broke virtually every possible box office record to become the top-grossing film of 2008 and the second-highest grossing movie of all time after Titanic

The eight Oscar-nominated film including Best Actor Supporting Role – Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight is distributed worldwide in theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
