Tropic Thunder, which stars Robert Downey Jr, Ben Stiller and Jack Black, had an estimated weekend total of $16.1 million at U.S. and Canadian theatres, bringing its total domestic take to $65.7 million, according to studio estimates.
Downey, Stiller and Black have evoked much laughter from audiences playing a group of self-absorbed Hollywood actors caught up in a real-life battle with narco-terrorists while filming a war movie in Southeast Asia. The film was directed, co-written and co-produced by Stiller and was distributed by Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc.
House Bunny, from Sony Corp’s Columbia Pictures unit, debuted at No. 2 with ticket sales of $15.1 million.
Written by Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah Lutz of Legally Blonde fame, the comedy stars Anna Faris as a former Playboy playmate who becomes house mother to socially inept sorority sisters after being cast out of the Playboy mansion. In third place was Death Race with a weekend tally of $12.3 million, according to a spokesman for Universal Pictures, a unit of General Electric Co’s NBC Universal.
