Iron Man Stiff on Top!


The summer blockbusters has officially begun with last week's film opening Iron Man who pulled in 100 million at the box office.


Iron Man has topped the box office for the second week in a row. After it's record breaking debut, the superhero movie pulled in 50 million at the box office putting a stop to this week's big debut "Speed Racer." The anime inspired film was butchered by critics which could explain it's weak opening at number 2 with 20 million. "Speed Racer" had a budget of 120 million and it looks like the movie will officially bomb.


The box office will see huge numbers in the next two weeks with the release of "Chronicles of Narnia" opening May 16th and "Indiana Jones" on May 22nd.


Here is the weekend box office.

1. "Iron Man," $50.5 million.
2. "Speed Racer," $20.2 million.
3. "What Happens in Vegas," $20 million.
4. "Made of Honor," $7.6 million.
5. "Baby Mama," $5.8 million.
6. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," $3.8 million.
7. "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay," $3.2 million.
8. "The Forbidden Kingdom," $1.9 million.
9. "Nim's Island," $1.3 million.
10. "Redbelt," $1.1 million.
