Iron Man Soars Above Competition at North American Box Office
Iron Man battered the competition for the second consecutive weekend as an estimated $50.5m haul through Paramount Pictures raised the running total to $177.1m.The result consolidated the Marvel Studios adaptation as the season’s first bona fide blockbuster and relegated new openers Speed Racer from Warner Bros and What Happens In Vegas from Fox to second and third, respectively.
Box office was up 21% against the same weekend last year as the top 12 films combined for $128m. Year-on-year 2008 still trails 2007 by some 2.5% at this stage in the game.
Speed Racer disappointed on $20.2m. The family film was adapted from the 1960s Japanese anime television series by Andy and Larry Wachowski in their first outing as directors since The Matrix Revolutions opened in 2003.

In 1999, they showed the world bullet-time in The Matrix and continued to wow us all the way through the trilogy. Say what you want about the last two films, but there is no denying that they looked sweet.

‘Speed Racer’ – Two Brand New International Trailers
The studio that brought “10,000 B.C.” and “I Am Legend” Warner Bros. Pictures have released two brand new international trailers of the upcoming family movie “Speed Racer“. The trailers each last for about one and a half minutes and contain pretty much the same compilation of clips with different sequences.
The trailers showcase many never before seen footages from the highly anticipated film by the Wachowski brothers. The two video footages give out glimpses to the hard-core racing competition where a slightest mistake can cause a devastating result. Unlike the domestic trailer, these international trailers let out much of the animation parts from the film starring Emile Hirsch and Matthew Fox.
