Box Office Results News

The Dark Knight climbed to seventh place on the all-time domestic blockbuster list this week, surpassing the first Spider-Man to become the highest-grossing comic book movie of all-time in North America.

The Batman Begins follow-up added $5.67 million on Tuesday to bring its massive gross to $405.7 million - and it's only been in theaters for 19 days! Spider-Man reached $403.7 million domestically during its entire run in 2002.

Up next for The Dark Knight on its run at the top spot ever? Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, which sits at number-six with $423.3 million.

Sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow (and your absolutely atrocious sequel to one of the best movies in history). Your time has come.

Another weekend, another box office domination by The Dark Knight.

At its current pace, The Dark Knight will easily gross over $480 million, placing it number-two on the list of highest grossing domestic releases of all time, just behind Titanic. Here's the weekend's top five:

1. The Dark Knight: $43.8 million
   
2. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: $42.5 million
3. Step Brothers: $16.3 million
   
4. Mamma Mia!: $13.1 million
5. Journey to the Center of the Earth: $6.88 million

The Joker is clapping all the way to the bank.

The Dark Knight set records with the biggest opening weekend last week with $153.3 million last weekend.

The Dark Knight doesn't look to be slowing down with the biggest second opening weekend at $75.6 million beating out previous record holder, Shrek 2.  Already the 23 top grossing movie of all time, The Dark Knight has earned a record fast $314.2 million in just 10 days.  Previous record holder was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in 14 days.

How did other movies fare in the box office last weekend?

• Step Brothers - $30 million
• Mamma Mia! - $17.9 million
• X-Files: I Want to Believe - $10.2 million
• Journey to the Center of the Earth - $9.4 million

Does The Dark Knight have what it takes to beat out the current biggest domestic earner of all time, Titantic?  James Cameron should be nervous.

It's official:

The Dark Knight isn't just a hit; it's a hit of historical proportions.

The latest Batman movie has knocked Spider-Man 3 off the top spot for the biggest opening weekend of all-time. Check out tally below, as we list the top five movies at the box office this weekend:

1. The Dark Knight - $155.3 million
2. Mamma Mia! - $27.6 million
3. Hancock - $14 million
4. Journey to the Center of the Earth - $11.9 million
5. Hellboy II - $10 million

No major surprises at the box office over the weekend. Hellboy took it to Hancock, while no one took his/her significant other or child to see Meet Dave.

Here's a look at the top five:

1. Hellboy II: The Golden Army: $35.9 million
2. Hancock: $33 million
3. Journey to the Center of the Earth: $20.6 million
4. Wall-e: $18.5 million
5. Wanted: $11.5 million

No shocker here: despite mild reviews, Will Smith's Hancock earned over $107 million in its first five days in theaters.

The super hero flick has been attacked by critics for veering away from its fun-loving, original concept in the movie's second half. Nevertheless, viewers made Hancock the third-biggest Fourth of July opener of all-time after Transformers and Spider-Man 2.

Here's a look at the weekend's top five:

1. Hancock, $66 million
2. WALL-E, $33.4 million
3. Wanted, $20.6 million
4. Get Smart, $11.1 million
5. Kung Fu Panda, $7.5 million

While WALL•E ruled at the box office this weekend - earning the second best June opening of all-time after - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - the Angelina Jolie/James McAvoy action thriller Wanted scored the sixth best opening of all ever for any R-rated movie.

Here's a recap of the weekend's top five:

1. WALL•E: $62.5 million
2. Wanted: $51.1 million
3. Get Smart: $20 million
4. Kung Fu Panda: $11.7 million
5. The Incredible Hulk: $9.2 million

There wasn't a surprise at the top of the box office chart this weekend. Just a smart decision by movie-goers, as they flocked to the Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway comedy, Get Smart.

Here's a look at the weekend's top five movies:

1. Get Smart: $39 million
2. Kung Fu Panda: $21.7 million
3. The Incredible Hulk: $21.5 million
4. The Love Guru: $14 million
5. The Happening: $10 million

Viewers got very smart over the weekend, making Steve Carell a box office sensation.

Iron Man crossed the $300 million mark domestically this week, less than two months after it debuted in theaters. It became the first 2008 summer film to do so.

This just in: People like Iron Man!

Among other recent big openers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is clear $300 million candidate, having earned $279.5 million through Tuesday. The movie has grossed $359.5 million internationally for a worldwide total of $638.9 million.

You may not wanna make Bruce Banner angry, but evidently movie viewers do wanna see what happens when he gets that way.

The Incredible Hulk topped the box office this weekend, pulling in an impressive $54 million. It's safe to assume a sequel is already being discussed.

Here's a look at top five:

1. The Incredible Hulk: $54 million
   
2. Kung Fu Panda: $34 million
3. The Happening: $31 million
4. You Don't Mess With the Zohan: $16 million
5. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: $13 million
