Will The Dark Knight make more money this weekend than the Pineapple Express?

Settled as Yes

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/

Background:

The Dark Knight is a great movie and has done very well at the box office. But Since Stoners don't have jobs (and they were the ones that watched dark knight at 12:01 at it opening) Pineapple Express May give it a run for it's money this weekend. How will win out The Comic book fans or the stoners? (what am I saying Comic book fans are stoners)

Since Pineapple Express opens on a on 8/6/8 we are going to look at just the weekend. so 8\8\8 - 8\10\8)

Disclaimer: The View express by Skins in this question do not reflex the beliefs of the Hubdub staff. The Hubdub staff believes stoners and comic book fans are a vital member of society and only wish they would make our coffee faster.

Ha! That's hilarious. Great question, thanks! The DK has to take a back seat eventually, but I'm not sure Pineapple Express can do it.

Great question. This is Nikki Finke's two cents 'But will the weekend total be big enough to knock off Warner Bros' top gun The Dark Knight? Maybe. It'll definitely be a tight race. My box office gurus don't expect the Batman installment to drop much more than 40% Friday through Sunday. That would give the pic a $25+M weekend.'

Pineapple Express gave it a good shot, but it looks like DK was strong enough to retain #1.

Wow. I hope those estimates are low. I got a ton of money riding on Pineapple making 40 million.

I hate The Dark Knight. Between this question and the Obama one I've lost $20000. Don't bet against Batman!
