Box office blog: 'Iron' turns to gold
Now that's how you start the summer off right. The smart, satisfying comic book flick "Iron Man" destroyed its competition over the weekend, earning $101 million (and an extra $3 million Thursday night) to top the box office and make some history in the process. The whopping total was the 10th-best three-day opening of all time and the No. 2 debut for a non-sequel. (Behind "Spider-Man," which debuted with $114.8 million.)
Great numbers for a good movie, neither of which can be said for the terrible romantic comedy "Made of Honor," which landed at No. 2 with a perfectly respectable, if not surprising, $15.5 million. It shows that the chick flick was effective counter-programming to "Iron Man," even if audiences didn't exactly turn out equally for both. (Now that would have been shocking.)
Can next week's "Speed Racer" take down "Iron Man"? Will "What Happens in Vegas" top "Made of Honor"?
