Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr took over Leicester Square last night for the UK premiere of Tropic Thunder. A smattering of Brit celebs also showed up for the screening, including Louisa Lytton, Alex Pettyfer, Gemma Atkinson and Dizzee Rascal. The newly-shaven Robert was looking rather handsome, while his co-star Ben talked about the controversy that the film has caused, saying:
"Everybody's entitled to their opinion of a movie like this where the comedy is a little bit edgy and out there. 
Well, the Fall movie season came in with a whimper. According to Variety, "The first weekend after Labor Day is always sluggish, but this year the frame was affected by the start of the NFL football season and was particularly dreary." Bangkok Dangerous came in at No.

Labor Day weekend officially signals the close of the Summer box office season, and this year's ended on, as Variety described it, "a whimper" as opposed to a bang. Tropic Thunder landed in the top spot for the third weekend in a row, pulling in an estimated $14.3 million over four days. The second spot went to Babylon A.D. which earned an estimated $12 million.

Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder won the top spot at the box office for the second weekend in a row, earning an estimated $16.1 million. This makes Tropic Thunder, Iron Man, and The Dark Knight the only movies to have stayed at No. 1 for two consecutive weeks this Summer (so that's two major box office winners for Robert Downey Jr.!).

Even though Tropic Thunder is technically No. 1 this weekend, The Dark Knight is still being called the biggest winner because it is "the second highest grossing pic of all time after Titanic domestically." Ben Stiller's comedy earned an estimated $26 million while the Batman sequel took in $16.7 million and has a total gross of $471.5 million.
