Weekend Box Office: Narnia on Top

We've got a new #1 flick for the first time in two weeks! That's right, with a debut of $56 million The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was able to overtake Iron Man who fell to #2 making another $31 million which gives the film a total of $222 million grossed so far. That's major! Then there's What Happens in Vegas who falls one spot to #3 making an additional $13 million which added up to $40 millions so far. And the shame of the year, Speed Racer which fell to #4 after Warner Bros. lied about their real debut total last week so they could have a #2 debut. Reality is that Speed Racer debuted at #3 and it now has grossed only $24 million dollars. Ouch! For a full report, click here.

Box Office Report: Iron Man is Unstoppable at #1

For the second week in a row, Paramount's Iron Man takes the #1 spot grossing the most money this past weekend at the box office. Making another $50 million, the movie's grand total stands at nearly $180 million so far. Incredible. That Warner Bros. film Speed Racer debuted at #2 making a dissapointing 20.2 million dollars, and I say dissapointing because the film was made on a budget close to 200 million dollars, crazy! If this movie is not a hit overseas, the company will have lost tons of money. We'll see how they'll do. Now, What Happens in Vegas made its debut at #3 making $20.0 million, which is not as bad because the movie's budget was of only $35 million - they'll make that back and have a good profit in a couple of weeks.

Opening This Weekend

Released this weekend is Speed Racer, an adaptation of the hit Japanese anime series of the same name. Although the film has been one of the most awaited-for this year, expert reviews are putting it down, in fact, the film received a 42 out of 100 on Metacritic. Ouch! I was thinking about watching the film, since I did watch the cartoons when I was younger, but... now I'm doubting it. Check out the trailer below.
