Universal's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" wasn't able steal the box office crown away from Warner Bros.' juggernaut "The Dark Knight," which pulled off the near-impossible by dropping only 42% in its third weekend to all but cross the $400 million mark in domestic ticket sales.

The race was close, however. "Dragon Emperor" grossed $42.4 million domestically from 3,760 screens, while "Dark Knight" grossed $43.8 million from 4,266 theaters for a cume of $394.9 million.

how many other actors or actresses have had two movies in the top ten at the same time (i'm sure there've been one or two others)

that's sort of impressive

regardless of his acting ability, fraser seems to be a pretty sharp guy when it comes to picking roles in money movies

Well maybe Nolan should have edited his bloated movie down a bit if he wanted to avoid the Mummy steam engine.

You were right, the estimates were more then $1.5 Million off! The Mummy 3's actual was more than $1.5 Million lower than the estimate. Not even Zombie Jet Li and Yeti can stop Dark Knight.
