Tropic Thunder, the Ben Stiller gig which opened this weekend, has dethroned The Dark Night to grab the first spot in box office revenues, according to estimates from Box Office Mojo. “Tropic Thunder,” with $26 million, is a movie in a movie, or the story of a fake movie; and just like “real” gig, its debut is marked by commercials and trailers of the star’s forthcoming movies.

“Tropic Thunder” is a comedy situated on the edge, as is makes fun of everything: Vietnam veterans, drug addicts who are recovering, Russell Crowe, those who are overweight and the list can go on. But, if you get over those aspects and don’t take it personally, the movie is really funny.

The other notable new entries are Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which came in third with $15.5 million in ticket sales, and Mirrors, on fourth place, with little more than $11 million.

The animated "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" movie already caused a wave of complains from classic Star Wars fans who argued that the latest George Lucas release is too juvenile. Well, this is what Lucas probably wanted – he filled the animated movie with dialogue, characters and slapstick more appealing to the young Star Wars generation. That is, to those who weren't born when the original three Star Wars movies were released. To cut a long story short, if "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" wants to be a film for 10-year-old boys or for older boys with the same mental age, it’s a success.

Mirrors follows Kiefer Sutherland as a former NYPD cop battling sinister forces in mirrors that endanger both him and his family. Directed by Alexandre Aja, the thriller is somewhat cliché, but features an interesting ending which somewhat redeems the flick. Strangely enough, rumors are that in real life Kiefer Sutherland is freaked out by mirrors and does not have any in his house.

The estimates, as reported by Box Office Mojo, are as follows:

1 Tropic Thunder $26,000,000
2 The Dark Knight $16,790,000
3 Star Wars: The Clone Wars 15,505,000
4 Mirrors $11,125,000
5 Pineapple Express $10,000,000
6 The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor $8,609,000
7 Mamma Mia! $6,498,000
8 The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants $5,930,000
9 Step Brothers $5,000,000
10 Vicky Cristina Barcelona $3,710,000
