The full report can be found here, but Iron Man 2 was successful, but not as much as the studio might have hoped. The film opened up at #1 with $133.6 million domestically, which is the fifth highest opening weekend of all time. While this may not sound dissapointing, Paramount was hoping for and even predicting this film to be the highest opening of all time, which is a goal the film was far from reaching. In second was last week's winner A Nightmare on Elm Street with $9.1 million in its second week, and in third was the continually impressive How to Train Your Dragon with $6.7 million in its seventh week of release. The other new release this week was the documentary Babies, which debuted at #10 with $1.5 million in 534 theaters. Some experts believe a film like Babies could stay strong since it is different from the summer films the studios have to offer.
So, what do you think? Surprised by Iron Man 2's showing?
