Iron Man 2 makes good on sequel

Actually, more than good, since it fared better than it's predecessor by about $35 millions dollars.  IM2 has moved on to taking the 5th spot of movies with the best opening weekends of all time, and moves to 4th place in highest grossing films of 2010.  So far, the momentum is really good for IM2, since next weeks' contenders are both Robin Hood and Shrek 4.........Shrek is expected to be the real threat for Iron Man's top spot next week, but since Shrek 3 wasn't exactly up to par with its predecessor's, I can rest assure, that Iron Man will be once again in the top spot for next week. 
So far, Iron Man 2 has raked in $136.6 million in its first weekend, and over $327 million total world wide.  Europe and parts of Latin America were first to receive IM2 since April 30th, sue to the World Cup taking a greater importance than cinematic entertainment, so, as not to lose money and too much revenue, producers made an early release exception to the rules.....since there are more than 2 billion soccer fans all over, and majority rules.  SO far, the tally rises for IM2.  If they triple their earnings, the profit, but that's how greedy Hollywood sees it.  Even a 100% return is good, but they desire a 200% or more earnings to consider a  movie a success.
