Again shock! Humans 2 off iron win the crat weekend

Guys, I have had a horrible hum dinger of a day. I don't want to get into it, but it involved me swearing at my iPhone as it decided the only way it was going to work again was via Restore. So I lost everything except for my contacts. (iPhone tip, download the App called iDrive Lite. Use it to backp your contacts. Restore is a breeze if your phone conks out like mine did.) While I have my contacts back, my settings, apps, pictures (luckily, those are backed up on my other PC), gone. Destroyed like the garden in Karate Kid II when those young punks just couldn't leave well enough alone and had to invade Miyagi's crib and tear up his flowers and destroy his pots.So here's the copy and paste box office report from Box Office Mojo. The regular report will continue next week. I'm going to bed to try and restore some sanity.Striking with an estimated $133.6 million in a blazing start to the s! ummer movie season, Iron Man 2 shot past the debut of the first Iron Man, which kicked off with $98.6 million on the same weekend in 2008. The sequel also rocketed to fifth place among the highest-grossing opening weekends of all time, slotting behind Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest's $135.6 million launch. In terms of estimated attendance, though, Iron Man 2would chart ninth on that list.

As is usually the case with summer openings, there was a huge gulf between the top movie and everything else. Iron Man 2 accounted for nearly three quarters of overall business, while last weekend's top grosser, A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), predictably fell into the abyss as horror movies often do. The slasher remake bled 72 percent to an estimated $9.2 million, bringing its total to $48.5 million in ten days. Its drop was steeper than Freddy Vs. Jason and Halloween (2007) (each was off 64 percent), but smaller than Friday the 13th (2009), which had an 80 percent crash.

Relinquishing its IMAX screens to Iron Man 2, How to Train Your Dragon saw its biggest decline yet, but still only dipped 36 percent. It made an estimated $6.8 million, lifting its total to $201.1 million in 45 days and surpassing the final gross of Monsters Vs. Aliens. Dragon also gained more ground in its bid to top Kung Fu Panda as DreamWorks Animation's highest-grossing non-Shrek movie, trailing Panda by $5.5 million through the same point.

Date Night had the smallest slip among nationwide holdovers, down 30 percent to an estimated $5.3 million and increasing its sum to $80.9 million in 31 days. The Back-Up Plan took a generic 40 percent hit to an estimated $4.3 million, upping its total to $29.4 million in 17 days, while Furry Vengeance also saw a typical slump, retreating 40 percent to an estimated $4 million for a $11.6 million tally in ten days.

Meanwhile, Babies debuted with a sizable yet limited release of 534 locations, but inspired few "awhs" with an estimated $1.6 million.
