FRIDAY NIGHT: Paramount and Marvel Studios have an Iron-clad hold on America’s moviegoers for a 2nd weekend. With an A-list cast and virtually unanimous critical acclaim, Iron Man has seized another $14.75M on Friday, and the Robert Downey, Jr. superhero debut should cruise to an excellent $49M 3-day. Easily, the year’s biggest hit, the crowd-pleaser will likely soar past $175M by Monday morning
