Iron Man Still Number One In Us Film Charts

Comic book adventure IRON MAN has crushed all competition at the U.S. box office, remaining triumphant for the second weekend since its release.

The action film, adapted from the Marvel comic book series and starring Robert Downey Jr., took in $50.5 million (GBP29.5 million), toppling new entry Speed Racer, which made $100 million (GBP50 million) in its opening weekend.

Romantic comedies dominated the rest of the top five positions, with the Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher-starring movie What Happens In Vegas making its debut at number three.

Made of Honour, starring Patrick Dempsey, came in fourth while last week's box office number three Baby Mama dropped to number five on the new chart.
