Tops at the Box Office

1. Iron Man 2- $53M/$212M
While $53M is nothing to sneeze at, Iron Man 2 still dropped nearly 60% from last week, a pretty hefty tumble for what is expected to be the biggest film of the year. That's a bigger drop than 2008's Iron Man had, although it's debut weekend was much smaller.

2. Robin Hood- $37.1M
I don't think anybody thought Robin Hood's arrow could pierce Iron Man's armor, but that's still a pretty paltry opening weekend. The $200M epic fared better globally, dominating to the tune of $74M for a total gross of $111M.

3. Letters to Juliet- $13.8M
Benefitting as a counter to the big explosions and bigger muscles of it's competition, Letters to Juliet opened with a respectable $13.8M, not bad considering it had a similarly themed Just Wright that opened the exact same weekend. Is it me, or does this entire week's worth of numbers seem small?

4. Just Wright- $8.5M
It's never a good idea to release two romantic comedies head to head because one is going to get trounced. In this case, it was the Queen Latifah/Common led Just Wright, which did it's best to highight Latifah's charms to push it to success. Not that they had much choice since Common is a relative unknown commodity as an actor, and certainly untested as a leading man.

5. How to Train Your Dragon- $5.12M/$208M

6. A Nightmare on Elm Street- $4.7M/$56.1M

7. Date Night- $4M/$86.7M
I can't explain it, but I smile every time I see this movie on the charts. Maybe I liked it more than I thought?

8. The Back-Up Plan- $2.46M/$34.2M
On the other hand....

9. Furry Vengeance- $2.3M/$15.1M
If Hollywood could ever be sued on waste and abuse charges, Furry Vengeance is going to be exhibit A for the prosecution. Just sayin'.

10. Clash of the Titans- $1.25M/$160M
