For the third weekend, The Dark Knight Rises claimed the top spot at the US box office. Meanwhile, both new openers struggled: the Total Recall remake is the latest big-budget, heavily-marketed sci-fi movie to notch an underwhelming debut, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days fell way short of its predecessors.
The Dark Knight Rises achieved a $160 million debut.
