The new Batman film has broken another box office record in North America as it spends a second week at number one.

The Dark Knight passed the $300m/£151m mark quicker than any other movie, doing so 10 days after release.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest held the previous record, which was set in 16 days in 2006.

The Dark Knight took $75.6m/£38.1m over the weekend in the US and Canada, with comedy Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell, new at number two – it took $30m/£15.1m, knocking last week’s runner-up, Mamma Mia!, into third place.
