Just when it looked like The Dark Knight’s reign at the top of the box-office was over, the Batman Begins sequel flew it’s way to the #1 spot again this weekend. Pineapple Express claimed the #1 spot on Wednesay, Thursday, AND Friday but The Dark Knight regained the spot on Saturday and Sunday, finishing on top for the 4th weekend in a row. Pineapple ended the weekend at #2, and the other new release this week, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, opened at #4.
