Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder held on to the box authority crown for the s week in a row as it earned $16.3 1000000 to bring its total to $65.7 jillion. Most analysts expect it to remain on cover over the upcoming Labor Day weekend, which is generally the only major holiday of the year that does not pull in big line of work for exhibitors. Tropic Thunder beat out The House Bunny, which placed second with $14.5 meg, but outsmart Thunder on a per theater basis. Universal's Death Race opened in third place with $12.6 million. Slipping to fourth place was Warner Bros.' The Dark Night , which added another $10.5 million to its amount -- which has now reached $489.4 trillion and will likely to cross the $500-million print over adjacent weekend. Rounding out the top five-spot was Star Wars the Clone Wars with precisely $5.7 million in its irregular week, making it the first bona fide Star Wars fizzle. The top-12 films of the weekend grossed $88.5 million, off less than half a per centum from the $88.8 million that the boxful office counted during the comparable week a year ago.
