Tropic Thunder continued to reign at North American box office charts for the second weekend in a row, bringing in ticket sales of more than $16.1 million.

Despite the launch of new releases like The House Bunny and The Death Race, Ben Stiller-starrer Tropic Thunder held on to its position as the top grosser across North American movie theaters. Released twelve days back, the movie has till date raked in a total of $65.7 million, according to Studio estimates released on Sunday.

Tropic Thunder has been released by Paramount-DreamWorks and stars Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr as well as Jack Black. The film is an action comedy based on the predicament of a bunch of actors who are caught up in an actual battle while filming a war movie.

Among the new releases only the campus comedy, The House Bunny seemed likely to offer some competition to Tropic Thunder. The Ann Farris-starrer from Sony Entertainment made its debut at the box office on second place with a weekend sales of $15.1 million.

The other releases of the weekend which attracted only a lukewarm response were Ice Cube’s sports drama The Longshots and a musical comedy starring Rainn Wilson titled The Rocker.
