As expected, the highly anticipated "Iron Man 2" rocketed past any other movie at the box office this weekend, and blew by the original by a mile.
The new Marvel film earned an estimated $133.6 million this weekend, around $35 million more than the first "Iron Man", which debuted with $98.6 million in May 2008. While it's definitely a huge opening, "The Dark Knight's" $158.4 million debut in July 2008 still remains in the record books.
"Iron Man 2" performance marks the fifth biggest bow ever and Paramount's best to date. A third "Iron Man" is expected to drop sometime in 2013, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"We do have a contract with Robert Downey Jr. to do it, and it will come after 'The Avengers,' " Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed with THR.
Paramount will unleashed "Avengers" -- an ensemble superhero actioner featuring "Iron Man" and other Marvel characters -- on May 4, 2012.
Last weekend's #1 movie, "A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)," slipped to #2 this week with $9.1 million; "How To Train Your Dragon" came in at #3 with $6.7 million; the comedy "Date Night" lands at #4 with $5.3 million; and "The Back-Up Plan" rounds out the top 5 with $4.3 million.
The other wide release over the weekend was the documentary "Babies," which opened at #10 with $1.5 million.
That wraps things up this weekend. Next weekend, look out for the romantic comedy "Just Wright," the romance "Letters to Juliet," and "Robin Hood."your best friend
