Tropic Thunder Not Making What Was Expected

According to early reports, the big budget film Tropic Thunder won't make back what it cost to make in its first full weekend out. Thunder opened this Wednesday to $7.5 million, that's just 40% of what Pineapple Express made in its Wednesday debut last week.

Tropic Thunder, despite starring Ben Stiller and Jack Black, is expected to pull in $41 million tops this weekend, well below expectations. Well... the #1 movie remains The Dark Knight - impressive.
