Yup, Laremy will come quite close as Speed brought in $6.5 million on Friday and is expected to end somewhere around$23 million. Not good numbers for a summer blockbuster, but it just isn't good enough to warrant anymore than that.
Iron Man will definitely finish first once again with an estimated $14.75 on Friday and an expected 3-day total of $49 million.
It makes me sad to see What Happens in Vegas will make an estimated $17.31 million for the weekend because that just tells me how many people dislike themselves.
Rounding out the top five is a pair of chick flicks as Made of Honor will pull in at fourth with $2.61m on Friday, followed by Baby Mama with $1.98m.
The only other new release worth talking about is Tarsem's The Fall, which is actually a pretty good film and I hope to have my review up soon. It was only in one theater and managed $18,927 on Friday and is expected to hit $67k for the weekend.
