Huge thanks to Celebutopia we have some fantastic production stills from Pineapple Express, we previously only had two so this is a real treat! I ♥ this movie!

Tropic Thunder beat out WB’s reining champ The Dark Knight taking the number one spot after a lengthy 4 week rein previously held by the Batman sequel. While Sony’s stoner comedy Pineapple Express, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, dropped from second to fifth place with nearly $10 million in its second weekend to bring its total to $63 million so far. Pineapple only costed about $27 million to make (not including marketing) and also took the record for biggest Wednesday opening (read entry).

1) Tropic Thunder – $25,812,796
2) The Dark Knight – $16,379,293
3) Star Wars: The Clone Wars – $14,611,273
4) Mirrors – $11,161,074
5) Pineapple Express – $9,808,295

Stoner movie Pineapple Express fell a few hits short of knocking The Dark Knight out of his Batmobile as the Caped Crusader powered to his fourth straight weekend as the box-office leader.

Sony Pictures’ R-rated comedy about a pothead and his small-time dealer on the lam from the law and a ruthless drug lord after witnessing a murder scored $22.4 million for the weekend, for a total of $40.4 million since opening Wednesday.

Strong numbers for a movie that cost about $27 million to produce, but not enough to overtake Warner Bros.’ Batman blockbuster, which pulled in $26 million for the weekend and boosted its domestic total to $441.5 million.

Pineapple Express opened in US cinemas yesterday. I hope you’re all enjoying the film and Amber’s performance as Dale Denton’s neurotic high school girlfriend Angie Anderson.

Thanks to Lizzlea for alerting us that the trailer for The Informers has been released and can be viewed here at YouTube. It looks really cool – I cannot wait to see this one! I’ve made screencaps of Amber’s role. Watch out for some nudity if you’re easily offended.

As we earlier reported, the Pineapple Express premiere was held yesterday evening in Westwood. Amber was in attendance and she looked nothing short of flawless in a stunning black number. Very classy and beautiful!

We now have more details on Amber’s look, courtesy of Sawf News:

Amber Heard made an exquisite style statement in an asymmetrical Giorgio Armani cocktail dress and Bvlgari jewels at the Pineapple Express L.A. premiere at the Mann theater in Westwood, CA, on Thursday, July 31.

The form revealing dress with a bold neckline flaunted her svelte figure. She matched it with sixties makeover: winged out eyeliner, red eye shadow that complimented her lip color and a puffed top hair.

She accessorized with black peeptoe pumps, bangles and wide bracelets riding up to half of her right arm, multiple chunky rings in both her hands and hoop earrings.

Amber, 22, plays the role of Angie Anderson in the $25 million budget stoner-action comedy film starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. According to producer Judd Apatow, the inspiration for the film came from Brad Pitt’s character in True Romance (1993), a stoner named Floyd.

Stay tuned because at 6:30pm PST/9:30pm EST, we’ll have live coverage from the red carpet premiere of Pineapple Express! You can watch below as the cast members come by to wave, say hello and talk about the movie. Amber is reportedly in attendance so be sure to watch.
