The Dark Knight is still lording it over the box office, grossing $26 million over the weekend for a fourth consecutive win—and overtaking Shrek 2 to become the third biggest Hollywood blockbuster ever with a cumulative $441.5 million. Judd Apatow's new comedy Pineapple Express beat The Dark Knight on Friday, but finished at No. 2 with $22.4 million for the weekend. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 took third place, grossing $10.8 million. (More The Dark Knight stories.)
