Box Office - 'Indiana Jones' Whips Up $126 Million in Four Days
Because it's an otherwise boring holiday weekend, the big story is the box office performance of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We've been updating you daily on its estimated total, and while we were off-base after Thursday's $25 million opening, we corrected ourselves and the course of the film after seeing Friday's $31 million estimate.

A Less Than Regal Opening Day for 'Prince Caspian'
For the third consecutive weekend, the box office will prove to be a tough beast to tame. While lots of analysts expected Iron Man to christen summer with a huge take, not too many guessed $100 million-plus. And while it became obvious in the days before its release that Speed Racer would struggle, even the lowest estimates were around $10 million more than the film wound up making in its debut.
And for Prince Caspian, the second film in The Chronicles of Narnia, you were likely to find projections of $80 - $95 million; in other words, it would have a strong weekend but not Iron Man strong. And everyone was wrong...again.
Box Office - 'Iron Man' Earns $50 Million More
Adhering to conventional wisdom, Iron Man repeated as the number one film in the country this weekend, adding a cool $50 million to its stack of money, according to estimates published at Box Office Mojo. The big weekend puts Iron Man less than a week away from $200 million, and makes it the top grossing film of 2008, a title that probably won't last but another month.

Box Office - 'Speed Racer' Stalls
Speed Racer, which earlier in the week was reported to be projecting soft, is playing even softer. Based on Friday's estimates from Box Office Mojo, the second big summer movie won't finish in first place this weekend...or second place.

The new Wachowski Brothers adaptation of the cult cartoon classic opened the weekend in third place, nowhere near Iron Man and a full million bucks behind What Happens in Vegas. You can't predict the future based on one day, certainly (hell, even Spider-Man 3 underperformed its own projections after shattering previous records on opening day), but it does not look good for the $100 million flick. Failing to even hit $6 million in ticket sales on Friday, Speed Racer will most likely finish the weekend around $20 million.

Look at it this way: I either saved you ten bucks or confirmed what you already wanted to know. You don't get that offer everyday.
