Box Office Buzz: It’s ‘Thundering’ at the Top
Far be it from me to ignore past inaccuracies in my own predictions, but it looks like Tropic Thunder has managed to hold on to its top spot at the box office for the weekend of August 22-24. Starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr., Thunder managed to come away with a $16.1 million this weekend, dropping 37% from last week.
Two newcomers arrived in at spots two and three, respectively, making a complete moron of me and my prediction that The Dark Knight would hit back up to

'Tropic Thunder' tops boxoffice again
Moviegoers were again drawn to the surprisingly resonant allure of "Tropic Thunder" this weekend.
DreamWorks/Paramount's R-rated comedy starring Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller and Jack Black repeated atop the domestic boxoffice amid weaker-than-expected competition, marking a modest 38% decline from its first session for an estimated $16.1 million on the frame and a 10-day cume of $65.7 million.

'Tropic Thunder' brings issues about cinema and race back to the fore
Robert Downey Jr. plays Kirk Lazarus who plays a Black vietnam soldier in the new, Ben Stiller Film "Tropic Thunder".
The movie sets a satirical tone towards race relations in hollywood again. The movie has opened to a nice 26 million dollars, over the weekend. It was even able to knock the Dark Knight off the spot for no.1 (although Dark Knight is No. 2, and with 471 million under its utiltiy belt, I might add ). It looks like controversy sells.
Ben Stiller Says Planned 'Tropic Thunder' Boycott Is Unwarranted
One of the characters in Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder" is an Australian actor who undergoes a deep-tissue pigmentation to become black. One is an overweight, drug-addled comic who seems to speak only in farts.
Stiller and company have navigated plenty of minefields in their new Hollywood satire, and the unlikeliest one of all might trip them up. A consortium of disability groups has called for a national boycott of the highly anticipated war spoof because of what they see as open ridicule of the mental

'Thunder' Still Rumbling at Box Office After Three Weeks
The action comedy from comedian Ben Stiller, 'Tropic Thunder', still holds its first position at the North American box office on its third weekend.
$10 M. Thunder! Ben Stiller Buys Riverside Duplex from Zabar Scion
There’s something so inoffensive and smiley about Ben Stiller that he can make phallus-in-the-zipper jokes (or write and direct a Hollywood blockbuster that heavily features blackface) but still come across as a really amiable fellow who likes to stay in close proximity to his aging parents.
So it makes sense that he just spent $10 million on a duplex in a prewar orange-brick co-op on Riverside Drive in the West 80s, the same building that his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, have lived in for year
'Thunder' rumbles to top spot
'Dark Knight' the 2nd highest grossing pic ever
DreamWorks and Paramount’s outrageous big-budget comedy "Tropic Thunder" topped the weekend box office in grossing an estimated $26 million from 3,319 runs for a five-day opening of $37 million, meaning the R-rated pic will need sturdy legs and a strong overseas run to impress financially.
The star-packed pic, playing best among older males, landed in between "Pineapple Express" and "Step Brothers" in terms of its opening performance, but those two R-r
Box Office Numbers-Labor Day: Stiller and the Boys Remain on Top!
Ben Stiller and the boys from “Tropic Thunder” celebrated the Labor Day Weekend by Remaining No. 1 at the box office holding off Vin Diesel’s Sci-Fi action picture “Babylon A.D.” Also opening with less than stellar numbers was “Traitor” at fifth overall. Disaster movie was just that..a disaster barely managing 6 million over the 4 day holiday weekend. Maybe this is a clue that we are done with the spoof flicks! Here is how the rest fared:

Thunder Still Rolling. Even with some high-profile competition, the Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder held onto the top spot at the North American weekend box office, with about $16.1 million in revenue.
According to Entertainment Weekly's EW.com, it is the first R-rated film to stay No. 1 for two weeks in 2008, and the fifth film to double up this year. The other four were 21, Horton Hears a Who, Iron Man and The Dark Knight, the site said.
In second place was The House Bunny, the new comedy star

Thunder at the Box Office. R-rated comedy Tropic Thunder ended The Dark Knight's reign at the top of the weekend box office, although Dark Knight passed Star Wars for the No. 2 spot on the all-time box office list. More about that later.
For now, Tropic Thunder — with Ben Stiller (who also directed), Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise — took in an estimated $26 million over the weekend. With the money it collected from Wednesday and Thursday screenings, Box Office Mojo says, Tropic Thun
