Batman kicks Mummy's butt!


This weekend tally is in! "The Dark Knight" is the number one movie in America and Canada for the third week in a row! This means that probably it's on its way to become the second biggest grossing film of all time, behind "Titanic".

"The Dark Knight" got 43.8 million dollars this weekend, upping up the tally to 389.56 million dollars. It's estimated that the film will arrive at the 400 million mark by next Thursday. The second film this weekend was "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" with a respectable 42.5 million dollars. The film suffered from bad reviews and repeat business from people who wanted to see "Dark Knight" again.

The disappointment of the weekend was "Swing Vote", starring Kevin Costner, in which he plays a hard drinking oaf that becomes the deciding vote in the US presidential elections. It only garnered 6.4 million dollars and the number 6 spot.

"Stepbrothers" and "Mamma Mia" rounded up the top 4.
