“Tropic Thunder” bested “The Dark Knight” for the first time since the latest Batman movie’s release, but “Knight’s” $16.8 million was enough to pass “Star Wars” as the second highest grossing film of all time in the U.S.
We thought “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” was disappointing at third place, but we’re not surprised because we hated the movie. We hated it.
