May 5 2008'Iron Man' Was Seen by Many, Many People This Weekend
1. Iron Man - Apparently some people saw this iron character movie, and it made something like $100.8 million. Go figure.
2. Made of Honor - Maid $15.5 million this weekend. See what I did there? Used a nonsensical pun.
3. Baby Mama - $10.3 million, and it turns out the title has nothing to do with the ABC sitcom Dinosaurs and its hit Baby catchphrase, "Not the mama!"
4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall - $6.1 million, meaning at least one more week for that Sarah Marshall in your office to continue with her stories of how she has to keep telling people she's not that Sarah Marshall, adding that she could be, though, because she's "driven over more than a few hearts along the road to middle age."
5. Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay - $6 million, down nearly 60% since it was revealed that neither Harold or Kumar build a high-tech iron suit to fight their way out of Guantanamo Bay.

This is why I love anticlown writers. You guys are completely shameless in your references to once great(yet somehow cancelled within a couple seasons) TV shows.
Dinosaurs was effin hilarious.

Yes, Iron Man was Fe-nominal. *sigh* I'm never gonna get laid.

Iron Man was amazing. RDJ was hot and I'm so glad I stayed past the credits for the sneak peek. OMG!

This was nowhere near as good as Transformers and as it should be; it was nowhere near as hyped by this site.

Pretty sure it was 104.8 million not 100.8

Having made more than $100 million, Iron Man has officially become Robert Downey Jr.'s biggest hit that wasn't attached to the end of a pipe.

Dear Lee,
That's true; ironically it was your mama who provided me that hit.
Sincerely,
RDJ

Iron Man was a practically flawless hero flick; its makers drop some pretty obvious sequel hints too... i'm thinking the next one should be equally great
