Well damn. Iron Man did better than I expected.

I wonder if it holds off Speed Racer next week.

[CBright7831 0]

I'll probably go see Speed Racer because John Goodman is playing Pops Racer.

 

Not to mention Matthew Fox looks cool as Racer X.

[Atticus Chaos 0]

Hooray! Gwyneth Paltrow has her career back!

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Superior tech!

[Boner Kawanger 0]

I think Speed Racer looks good and deep down, I feel like it has the potential to be something great. However, most people I know are really hesitant to see it because they don't take either Speed Racer or the Watchowskis seriously after The Matrix Sequels. I wouldn't be surprised if Iron Man was #1 again next week thanks to all the positive word of mouth it is garnering.

Ironman deserved every penny. Loved it

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Speed Racer commercials hurt my eyes.

[Craig Th 0]

Yeah, mine too. I don't think I could handle it in the theater.

[CBright7831 0]

I will probably go see it drunk.

That has got to be the worst reason ever to see a movie. "JOHN GOODMAN IS IN IT!"

[CBright7831 0]

I'm a Goodman mark.

 

I cant help it.

 

Plus its excellent casting.

[NYU 0]

Am I the only one surprised at how badly Harold and Kumar has actually done? The first one really did have a big cult following among the 18-36 crowd, so I'm shocked it's only made $25 million through two weekends. All jokes aside about stoners not paying to see movies, yada yada, I definitely thought this would have no problem surpassing the $50 million gross mark, which it's not likely to do now.

[bob_barron 0]

Given that the original only made 18 million, and it was being dumped in late April, it really had no chance at making $50 million. I'm sure the studio was hoping for $40 million, which means a nice profit, given that it cost nothing to make.

 

Speedracer is tracking in the mid-30s, so I think Iron Man will remain on top.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

H & K will recoup pretty much anything missed on DVD methinks.

[Damaramu 0]

Speed Racer looks good, but I just can't stand the kid that plays Speed Racer. I hope he's not as irritating in this as I've found him to be in other movies.

Agreed.

 

Great movie.
