Box Office Results News (Page 6)

For the second week in a row, Tropic Thunder ruled the box office. The Ben Stiller-directed comedy took in over $16 million.

The bigger story, however, was the strong performance of The House Bunny. It came close to conquering all. Guess movie goers do respond to Playboy models and sorority girls. Who knew?!?

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

1. Tropic Thunder: $16.1 million
2. The House Bunny: $15.1 million
3. Death Race: $12.2 million
4. The Dark Knight: $10.3 million
5. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: $5.6 million

It had to happen some weekend.

The Dark Knight was finally overtaken at the box office this weekend, as Ben Stiller's comedy Tropic Thunder made an estimated $26 million, dropping Batman and company to second place.

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

1. Tropic Thunder: $26 million
2. The Dark Knight: $16.7 million
3. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: $15.5 million
4. Mirrors: $11.1 million
5. Pineapple Express: $10 million

Batman went down in flames to Jack Black and company this weekend.

For Hollywood, The Dark Knight is serving as a white knight in shining armor, as far as summer box office receipts go.

After earning the top spot for the fourth weekend in a row, earning $26 million over the last three dyas, the Batman sequel is now the third-biggest movie of all time. Titanic fans better enjoy their favorite film's perch at number-one for as long as they can. It's soon going down.

Here's a look at the complete top five at the box office:

1. The Dark Knight: $26 million
2. Pineapple Express: $22.4 million
3. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: $16 million
4. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2: $10.8 million
5. Step Brothers: $8.9 million

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
