Box Office Monday

It's no surprise, of course, that "Iron Man 2" held on to the top spot. It did, however, drop almost 60 percent from last week which is higher than expected. Word of mouth has been only so-so (though I thought it was quite strong) and that's definitely harmed the movies overall impact. "Robin Hood" debuted with a decent take but it is likely to drop severely next week. Two new romantic "comedies" ("Letters to Juliet" and "Just Wright") debuted in solid positions but both underachieved a bit compared to expectations.

1. "Iron Man 2" - $52 million ($211 million total)
2. "Robin Hood" - $36 million
3. "Letters to Juliet" - $13.5 million
4. "Just Wright" - $8.3 million
5. "How to Train Your Dragon" - $5 million ($207.6 million)
6. "Nightmare on Elm Street" - $4.6 million ($56.1 million)
7. "Date Night" - $3.8 million ($86.5 million)
8. "The Back up Plan" - $2.4 million ($34.1 million)
9. "Furry Vengeance" - $2.2 million ($15.1 million)
10. "Clash of the Titans" - $1.2 million ($160.1 million)
