Trading places: 'Dark Knight' swaps No. 1s

August 18, 2008 ' "The Dark Knight" regained the overseas lead -- even as it relinquished the No. 1 domestic position after a four-week stand -- reaching a foreign gross of $328.6 million with its weekend take of $42.4 from 7,775 screens in 61 markets. Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, the international champ for two successive weekends, eased into second place, but maintained a hot pace by grossing $29.1 million and lifting its cume to $193.5 million. Joining the top foreign grossers this weekend was Sony's Adam Sandler starrer "You Don't Mess With the Zohan," which racked up $11.2 million thanks to key dates in the U.K., Germany and Brazil.
