The Dark Knight No Longer Number One

After five weeks the Dark Knight is no longer in the number one spot. That position has been taken by Tropic Thunder, the Ben Stiller directed picture about the action stars who get caught up in a real war. It took in 26 million for the weekend while the Dark Knight grossed 16.8.

So far The Dark Knight has grossed 471.5 million in total in the domestic market. I can only imagine who much it will take in all together, counting foreign box office and eventual DVD sales.

The Star Wars film came in third for the weekend with 15.5 million. The film is actually the first three episodes of an animated television show. I read that the first 100 episodes have already been completed, which is rather ambitious to say the least.
