It's actually getting great reviews. it got a 97% on rottentomatoes..

I think this movie will eventually blow up more, and get over 200 million...

The ComingSoon.net Box Office Report has been updated with studio estimates for the weekend. Be sure to check back on Monday for the final figures based on actual box office.

Despite two more wide releases having entered theaters on Wednesday, The Dark Knight topped the box office for a fourth straight weekend, adding an estimated $26 million for a massive domestic total of $441.5 million. If the estimate holds, then the Christopher Nolan-directed film has surpassed Shrek 2 ($441.226 million) to climb to the third spot on the all-time domestic blockbuster list, trailing just Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope ($460.998 million) and Titanic ($600.788 million). Warner Bros. Pictures said it expects "Dark Knight" to end up with about $520 million domestically. The movie cost $185 million to make.

Columbia Pictures' R-rated comedy Pineapple Express, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, earned an estimated $22.4 million in second place over the weekend and has made $40.5 million in 3,072 theaters since its Wednesday debut. Directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Judd Apatow, the film carried a budget of only $27 million.

Universal Pictures' The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor dropped a big 60.2% in ticket sales its second weekend, collecting $16.1 million in third for a total of $70.7 million so far. The Rob Cohen-directed action-adventure was produced for $145 million.

Warner Bros. sequel The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, starring Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn, took fourth place with $10.8 million this weekend and has earned $19.7 million from 2,707 theaters since opening on Wednesday.

Columbia's Step Brothers rounded out the top five with $8.9 million in its third weekend. The $65 million comedy has reached $80.9 million.

Universal's musical Mamma Mia! continued to do well in the sixth spot, adding another $8 million in its fourth weekend for a total of $104 million compared to its budget of $52 million.

While "The Mummy" suffered a big drop, Brendan Fraser's other summer action-adventure, Journey to the Center of the Earth, dipped just 27.1% in its fifth weekend, making another $4.9 million for a total of $81.8 million. The New Line/Warner Bros. release cost $60 million to make.

Some Notes

Batman is getting near Titantic level with the record for most money made.
Pineapple Express is already in the black. They are over 13 Million in money made above there 27 million dollar budget Coming in at 40 million since Wednesday.
The Mummy bombed is down 75 million on budget so far. Horrible reviews are helping.
Step Brothers has made a healthy 15 million dollar profit so far. Looks to be another winner for Ferrell, and John C Reilly.
Mamma Mia is up over 50 million so far. A huge success.
Journey to the Center of the Earth is in the black already 15 million dollars above. That atleast saves a little face for Brendan Frasier's other bomb.

Here's a thought... Don't cast Brendan Fraser in a lead role! the guy is awful.. both movies he's in look like complete shit as well.

What can be said about TDK? Some people will complain about adjusted totals, but still.. it's extremely impressive what this film has accomplished and even more amazing that as many people have gone to see it in a time of recession.

James Deuce · 08-10-2008, 07:27 PM

Yea, I have seen it 3 times...I don't think I have ever seen a movie 3 times in theaters.

I don't like his acting that well. When you see the previews on the new Mummy movie, you know it'll flop. I bet his fans want to riot Hollywood because the critics are giving bad reviews. His acting and his fans both suck.

Congratulations of TDK for topping the box office for the 4th week. I been killing to see it, but my brother and his friends want to play Texas Hold 'Em instead. Man I want to fucking see it!
