Total Recall-- headliningColin Farrell,Kate BeckinsaleandJessica Biel-- is proving no match for Christopher Nolan's final The Dark Knight Rises, which earned $10.4 million on its third Friday for a projected weekend gross in the $35 million range. Dark Knight Rises' domestic gross is now north of $328 million.

From Sony, Total Recall earned a problematic C+ CinemaScore, which could put a dent on word-of-mouth. The remake, based both on the 1990 Paul Verhoeven film and the short story by Philip K. Dick, cost $125 million to produce, according to the studio.

The weekend's other new entry is Fox's family pic Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. The threequel, costing $22 million to make, came in third on Friday, grossing $5.9 million for a weekend debut in the $16 million to $17 million range.

That's lower than the two previous films in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, but Dog Days is the first to open during summer instead of March. Dog Days earned an A- CinemaScore, same as the first two films.

Fox also took the No. 4 spot on Friday with Ice Age: Continental Drift and No. 5 with troubled R-rated comedy The Watch.

Ice Age 4 grossed $2.5 million on its fourth Friday for a domestic total of $126 million (the movie is a massive hit overseas, where it has earned north of $550 million).

The Watch, starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade, fell 57 percent on its second Friday to $1.9 million. The pic's domestic cume is $20.9 million.
