Tropic Thunder has knocked Dark Knight from the #1 spot for the weekend.
But Batman has also topped the new Star Wars film for the weekend and defeated Luke and co. to be America's second highest-grossing film.
I like how much emphasis you guys put on how much money this movie is making, and yet would hate to have someone say Titanic was a better movie.
This movie could never have made more money than Titanic.
Titanic was a better movie.
TDK was really good for a summer blockbuster though. :)

Are you joking? Carey was okay in the role but Lee Jones was just trying to be joker all the time. He's usually a good actor but in that, he let himself down.

Don't knock the actors - about 95% of what went wrong with Batman Forever was because of the script. Jones did as much as he could with the material, but it was just so poorly written and so fr from the character to start with that it was just doomed.

Nope. I feel nothing toward that statement.

I know the writers gave them those lines but Jones could have delvered them differently.

no freakin way.
the better movie doesn't always make more money too. You have to remember, a lot of people have shitty taste.

Those lines fit perfectly with the direction though. The direction was shitty, but Jones' delivery was perfect for that mood. It would have been that much more awkward and stupid if Tommy Lee Jones gave a dark, great, creepy performance set against the candy-colored, kid-friendly mood of the rest of the film.

Yes it was a child friendly film but I just think a carbon copy of the joker was stupid. Yes, the writers and the directors are to blame as well but Jones is aswell. He could have worked the lines differently. That's just my opinion.

I just saw an employee from a local movie theater taking down the Dark knight poster and replacing it with something else, i guess its leaving theaters.

Did you get the poster?
It probably isn't leaving just no need for the poster anymore...

didn't get the poster, no. the employee seemed like she was keeping it for herself.
