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.
We've got the name of the film of the decade! The Dark Knight has retaken the #1 spot at the Box Office despite falling to #3 last Tuesday. The film, which has been a huge hit, took in another $26 million... check this out, the film has now grossed 441.5 million dollars in the United States alone - becoming the third highest grossing-film of all time in the Domestic Box Office, only behind 1977's Star Wars that collected $471 dollars and 1997's Titanic which grossed $600 million. Can The Dark Knight take down Titanic for the first time in eleven years? Can't wait to see how things shape up!

Finally, for the first time since its release, The Dark Knight has given up the #1 spot! Pineapple Express starring James Franco and Seth Rogen was released yesterday (Aug. 6) and took in over $12 million during the day - more than enough to send The Dark Knight down the chart. Films aren't usually released on Tuesday, but The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 was also released yesterday making a little over $5 million the first day, again, just enough to take the #2 spot. But where's The Dark Knight? Well, the film fell to #3 managing to collect over $5 million - enough to bring its box office total to a mind-blowing 410 million dollars! This movie, in just 20 days, has managed to become the seventh highest-grossing film in the US. Madness! We'll see how things shape up for the weekend, it should be interesting.
