The Dark Knight Rises easily won the box office during its second weekend in theaters. The film made another $62 million to bring its total gross to over $287 million.
The Dark Knight Rises is already the third top grossing film in the U.S. for the year according to the Yearly Box Office
chart on Box Office Mojo. It should have much trouble catching up to
The Hunger Games to take the #2 spot.
The Dark Knight Rises was followed by
Ice Age: Continental Drift, which made another $13.3 million during its third weekend in theaters.
The Watch, which was renamed from
Neighborhood Watch following the killing of Trayvon Martin, did not do well. It made under $13 million during its opening weekend despite appearing in 3,168 theaters.
Step Up Revolution, which opened in fourth, had a slightly better per theater average, but still underperformed with $11.7 million.
Step Up Revolution was followed by
Ted, The Amazing Spider-Man, Brave, Magic Mike and
Savages. You can see the complete box office report
