The Dark Knight Rises claimed the top spot again at the box office this weekend, earning another $36 million and bringing it's domestic total to $354.6 million. Total Recall placed a distant second with $26 million. While this won't be a runaway hit for Sony, international ticket sales and the next few weeks at the US box office could keep the film out of the red.
Ted is really one of the big surprises of the summer. This R-rated comedy keeps bringing in money for Universal and crossed the $200 million mark this week. To put that in perspective, the new Spider-Man movie just crossed the $250 million mark and they only opened a week apart. It's a pretty impressive feat for an original R-rated film.
