it mad 25 mil more than 3-week old iron man

I saw it yesterday and loved it.

I'll admit, tho- if U haven't seen the 1st one, I could see how U'd be confused in the beginning, making only the battle scenes cool.

Going to see this tomorrow

I thought I was going to hate this bullshit. My boyfriend wanted to see it so I went with him but I so totally loved it It was amessing

I totally thought the Prince was going to fall in love with the oldest of the siblings :risa:

The media will play the opening numbers as a disappointment, but since this is a family film, my guess is that it will have enough legs to have a steady box office return over the next few weeks. I'm surprised at the continued strength of Iron Man though.
