As I
predicted,
Tropic Thunder caused enough of a rumble this weekend to topple
The Dark Knight from its perch atop the weekend box office. Its estimated $26 million was enough to finally knock the
Christopher Nolan-directed Warner Bros. movie from the top spot after four weeks at No. 1. Still,
Dark Knight's weekend take of $16.7 million brought its total earnings to $471.5 million, enough to surpass 1977's
Star Wars' total of $460 million to become the second-highest grossing movie of all time!
