2. Iron Man (Paramount) $31,838,996/$223,124,385

3. What Happens in Vegas (Fox) $13,883,874/$40,341,516

9. The Forbidden Kingdom (Lionsgate) $1,073,856/$50,368,985

10. The Visitor (Overture Films) $672,448/$3,388,821


A decent but still underwhelming opening for Prince Caspian, especially when one considers that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe opened to $65,556,312 in December of 2005. Disney had to be hoping that this film would, at the very least, match the prior film's opening.

Iron Man continues to roll, well on its way to $300 million or more.

As if it already wasn't a bomb, Speed Racer continued to freefall. The Wachowski Brothers are going to have some explaining to do for this dud.
