‘Thunder’ on top again
For the second consecutive week, “Tropic Thunder” is tops at the box office.
It hauled in $16.1 million, narrowly beating “The House Bunny” by only $1 million. Thunder’s 12-day total now stands at $65.7 million.
“The House Bunny” debuted in second with $15.1 million. It stars Anna Faris as an ostracized playboy bunny who becomes den mother to a sorority of campus misfits.
Rainn Wilson should stick to TV. His music comedy “The Rocker” failed to make the top 10 in its debut. It took in $2.8 million to finish at No. 12. Ice Cube didn’t do much better. “The Longshots” opened at No. 8 with $4.3 million.
The Dark Knight continues its climb in box office history. After making another $10.3 million this weekend, it’s grand total now stands at $489.2 million.
