'Dark Knight Rises' falls hard on Friday, but stays on top with $18.1 million

"Third place proves that at the box office, the cachet of movie stars doesn’t always mean much, as the Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn/Jonah Hill comedy The Watch wasn’t watched by many at all. The $68 million Fox film shot up a weak $4.5 million — right in the same range as Adam Sandler’s similarly reviled R-rated comedy That’s My Boy, which started with $4.6 million on its way to a $13.5 million debut earlier this year. The Watch should also finish the weekend with just above $13 million. A major disappointment."
