With ticket sales dropping 60% from its opening weekend, it’s unlikely the Dark Knight Rises will reach the same box-office stratosphere the Dark Knight did. But $64.1 million in ticket sales for its second weekend still helped the latest Batman film take the top spot at the box-office.
The movie had a slow showing Friday but rebounded on Saturday and Sunday.
In second place was Ice Age: Continental Drift with $13.3 million.
The comedy The Watch was a disappointing third with $13 million, about $7 million below expectations.
The dance movie Step Up: Revolution, the only other major newcomer of the group, took fourth place with $11.8 million, the lower end of expectations.
The comedy Ted rounded out the top 5 with $7.4 million, lifting its overall gross to $193.6 million, the surprise comedy hit of the year so far. Final figures are due Monday.
