LOS ANGELES -- Adam Sandler's serious side has caught on with audiences.
Universal Pictures' "Funny People," with Sandler trading adolescent humor for an adult story about a terminally ill comedy star, debuted as the top weekend movie with $23.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
It was a modest weekend for Hollywood, with the shadow of last summer's juggernaut "The Dark Knight" hanging over the current blockbuster season. Overall summer revenues, which had been running ahead of last year's since early May, dipped below those of 2008, when "The Dark Knight" was packing theaters for weeks on end.
"It's staggering how strong 'The Dark Knight' was last year. At this point last year, 'The Dark Knight' had added nearly $400 million to the summer box office. How can you compete with that?" said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com.

Following two months of live shows, the season five finale of So You Think You Can Dance appears this week. Thousands of competitors down to the top four, this week is sure to be hotheaded, as America crowns its favorite dancer once again.
Do u guises who is going to take this win ? Let's take a look at some of the top four's highlights before making any rash judgments

Kelly Clarkson deformed down to her record bosses on Friday - after performing the new single she's dubbed a "rip off" of Beyonce's hit Halo at a free show in New York.
Clarkson claims songwriter/producer Ryan Tedder sent her the ballad Already Gone without telling her he'd already offered it to Beyonce.
Sony Music managerial overlooked Clarkson's pleas not to let go the track because it sounded too much like Beyonce's Halo - prompting her to publicly criticise Tedder and her bosses at the label.
But the Since U Been Gone singer has consented to promote the tune, which she performed at a free concert on US TV show Good Morning America, drawing thousands of fans to New York City's Central Park.
The singer explained earlier this week, "In the end, they're releasing it without my consent. It sucks, but it's one of those things I have no control over. I already made my album. At this point, the record company can do whatever they want with it. It's kind of a s**tty situation, but... you know, you learn."
