TROPIC THUNDER DETHRONES THE DARK KNIGHT

"Tropic Thunder" kicked "The Dark Knight" off of the top perch where it's been sitting for the past four weeks. Even though TDK fell to the #2 spot with $16.8 million for the weekend, it has become the second highest-grossing movie in the history of forever. With a total gross of $471 million, TDK ranks second behind "Titanic" which has $601 million in its wallet. I'm also glad that the horror film Mirrors did pretty well amongst the competition. The Kiefer Sutherland vehicle grossed a healthy 11 million. If only they would have shown Midnight Meat Train some love, maybe it would have done well financially.

Here's how the weekend box office looked:


1. Tropic Thunder - $26 million
2. The Dark Knight - $16. 8 million
3. Star Wars: The Clone Wars - $15.5 million
4. Mirrors - $11.1 million
5. Pineapple Express - $10 million
