Well it happened folks, a film finally came along that enough of you wanted to see that it beat out the box office king "the Dark Knight" which held the number 1 spot since it's opening.  

Tropic Thunder didn't destroy it at the box office, but it did just enough to be #1 this weekend, and in my view, totally and completely deservingly so.  This ladies and gentlemen is a FUNNY as hell movie.  This is the kind of flick with lines that will become apart of the english idiom, much like what Pulp Fiction did.

"I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as the other dude."  Robert Downey Jr., hands down owned this film.  And as much as you really don't want to, you have to tip your hat to Tom Cruise, because he's pretty damn funny in it too.

Tropic Thunder $26M $37M
The Dark Knight $16.8M $471M
Star Wars: The Clone Wars $15.5M $15.5M
Mirrors $11.1M $11.1M
Pineapple Express $10M $62.9M
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor $8.61M $86.6M
