At first it seemed like Iron Man 2 wouldn't be a staying power at the marketplace, but I guess people are just stupid enough not to understand the meaning of the word disappointment. The collosal let down managed to bring in $53 million in its second weekend, dropping a hefty 59%, but still winning the weekend. Judging from this, the action-comedy stands to end up with 400 million in total.Robin Hood didn't have much fortune this weekend, and doesn't seem to have much in the future. The film brought in $37 million, which isn't something to scoff at, but definitely wasn't what studios were hoping for. The film really needed to be a hit with audiences this weekend. Looking at the competition in the coming weeks, the film doesn't stand much of a chance of retaining audiences. I can see the film getting as much as $100 million over the rest of it's run, but not much more.
Another new release this weekend, Letters to Juliet, took in a standard $13.7 million, predictable for that type of romance. Expect it to end in the range of $45-50 million. Also, if you haven't heard, there's a film called Just Wright in the market that I hadn't heard of until just now. It stars Queen Latifah, so one would think we'd have heard about it. I guess some had, seeing as it brought in $8.5 million. Don't go looking for it. I'm sure it's nothing important.
Next weekend we get a return to the 3D dominion of the box-office with Shrek Forever After, as well as the Saturday Night Live spin-off MacGruber.
