Box Office: Dark Knight Rises Again in Second Weekend
This was a tough weekend at the box office in a scenario that mirrored the June release of Adam Sandler's That's My Boy and the musical Rock of Ages where two new movies opened in theaters but neither was able to crack the Top 2, let alone gross more than $15 million.
Although Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises took a pretty heavy drop in its second Friday, partially due to the Olympics, it picked up business on Saturday to gross an estimated $64.1 million in its second weekend, down 60% from last weekend with a running total of $289 million in just ten days. By comparison, Nolan's previous Batman movie The Dark Knight made $75.2 million in its second weekend, down 53%, and had grossed $313 million by its tenth day. Internationally, The Dark Knight Rises has reached $248.2 million for a worldwide total of $537.3 million.
The animated Ice Age: Continental Drift (20th Century Fox) remained in second place, dropping just 35% in its third weekend to bring in $13.3 million, taking its domestic total to just under $115 million. "Continental Drift" has performed much stronger overseas, earning $449.99 million and has collected $564.8 million globally.
As far as the new movies, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and British comic Richard Aoyade teamed up for the R-rated comedy The Watch (20th Century Fox), which opened in third place with a disappointing $13 million in 3,168 theaters, averaging just over $4,100 per site.
Even though the fourth installment of the dance franchise Step Up Revolution (Summit Entertainment) came in second place on Friday with $4.8 million, it took a nasty hit on Saturday to end the weekend in fourth place with an estimated $11.8 million. That's down from the opening of the previous movie Step Up 3D, which opened with $15.8 million two years ago.
Seth McFarlane's comedy Ted, starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, continues to do gangbusters as it makes its way to $200 million with another $7.4 million in fifth place. It has grossed $193.6 million in five weeks.
It pulled ahead of the summer's other big superhero movie The Amazing Spider-Man (Sony), which dropped to sixth place with $6.8 million, having grossed $242 million domestically since opening earlier this month. Overseas, the film has earned $412 million for a worldwide total of $654 million.
Disney•Pixar's Brave took seventh place with $4.2 million and a domestic gross of $217 million to date and $309 million worldwide.
Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike (Warner Bros.) dropped to eighth place with $2.6 million and $107.6 million so far, while Oliver Stone's equally star-studded ensemble crime drama Savages (Universal) took ninth place with $1.8 million, bringing its total to $43.9 million.
The Top 10 grossed roughly $126 million, which was down a whopping 25% from last year when Cowboys & Aliens and The Smurfs topped the box office with over $35 million each.
In limited release, Matthew McConaughey headlined the ensemble thriller Killer Joe (Millennium Entertainment), directed by William (The Exorcist) Friedkin, which brought in $38 thousand in three theaters.
Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, the Oscar-nominated directors of Little Miss Sunshine, returned with Ruby Sparks (Fox Searchlight), starring Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan. The film grossed $151 thousand in 13 theaters over the weekend and $192 thousand since opening Wednesday. The Sundance doc Searching for Sugar Man (Sony Pictures Classics) took in $28,500 in three venues in New York and Los Angeles.

JJ Lin JunJie Caught Red-Handed On Date; Rumored Girlfriend Lillian Chen LiLeng Pretends To Trip and Fall, Throws Water on Reporter
JJ Lin JunJie's rumors with E-cup beauty and model 陳立冷 Lillian Chen LiLeng have been circulating for nine months; are they really dating? From the very beginning, the two have been evasive. Last night, however, they were finally "caught directly" on a date to the movies. When asked about their relationship, though, Lillian immediately became quite shrewish! First, she pretended to trip and fall, conveniently throwing the contents of her plastic water bottle at the reporter. Furthermore, following her "act," Lillian opened her eyes wide and blatantly lied(1): "Oh, I'm so sorry; I tripped." This sudden and rude behavior shocked even JJ Lin; when asked why his girlfriend lost control, he could only reply dumbly, "I don't know."
Relationship Exposed; Hurriedly Closes Photo Album
Last June, Lillian posted an intimate photo of her and JJ together; underneath was the caption, "Lillian loves Wine-Cooked Shrimp!" This, however, appeared to be a hint: wine-cooked shrimp is JJ's favorite. JJ's fans wrote numerous letters expressing their unhappiness and disapproval; Lillian then hastily closed her on-line photo album to the public. Since then, they've been very low-key and secretive; a few days ago, she was recognized at an audition for a program's host's assistant. She hid in the dressing room and refused to accept an interview or any questions. JJ, however, has generously admitted to earnestly pursuing her, and has expressed the hope that everyone give them some space.
Water Thrown in the Street; JJ Lin Stunned Speechless
On the night of the 13th, reporters caught JJ and Lillian at the Vieshow Cinemas in XinYip; they went to watch Red Riding Hood. The pair first browsed for DVD's at Asia1, on the second floor; before long, labelmates By2 and other friends showed up, and they went in to the movie together. Following the show, however, it seems that the observant JJ had noticed that there were reporters in the vicinity; he, Lillian, and the others first ducked into a safe corner to come up with a plan to avoid the cameras. When the waiting reporters rushed up to interview them, the five of them immediately-- in an attempt to ward off the reporters-- whipped out their own cellphones and began snapping pictures. Their actions were fast and deliberate; obviously, they've practiced this many times.
The reporter asked when Lillian and JJ's relationship would be made public; unexpectedly, Lillian began to lose control. First, she pretended to trip and fall, throwing the contents of her water bottle at the reporter. As she threw the water, she even giggled frivolously, "Oh! Look out; I'm so sorry; I'm so sorry!" and "I accidentally tripped!" She turned around to look at JJ, laughing, as she said these lies; JJ, however, didn't smile. Instead, he looked stunned.
Apology Posted on Blog
After he regained his senses, JJ immediately apologized on behalf of Lillian: "We're so sorry; we're so sorry." When asked why his girlfriend suddenly lost control, JJ responded dumbly, "I don't know." The reporters then asked Lillian, "JJ has already apologized on your behalf; are you going to say anything yourself?" She, however, kept a cold smile on her face, and didn't respond.
JJ, though, seemed to feel guilty and a sense of responsibility about the "incident." JJ went online at about 1 AM to apologize via his WeiBo, "I'm sorry... I know that there is also some responsibility on our side; we did wrong, too... I'm sorry." JJ's music company, Ocean Butterflies, also had something to say regarding Lillian's behavior: they expressed that they were not only sorry and embarrassed, but also a bit surprised. They also apologized again on their behalf: "We will continue to educate our entertainers."
Yesterday, a reporter contacted Lillian via her cellphone; upon answering and hearing the reporter's, "May I ask, is this Lillian?", Lillian quickly said, "You've got the wrong number," and hung up. When he heard that Lillian had lost control and thrown water at a reporter, producer Wang GuanWei, one of the only ones who have worked with Lillian in a professional setting, laughed loudly, "I'm not in the least surprised; she fought with me in the past, too." He admitted that, these days, in order to avoid destroying their [Wang GuanWei and Lillian's] relationship, he avoids bringing up JJ in front of her: "It could be because she's afraid that people will think she's trying to use him (and his status)."
