Iron Man 3 vs. The Great Gatsby! Who Won at the Box Office?
Iron Man 3 is still king of the box office.
In spite of the Great Gatsby’s release, Robert Downey Jr.’s superhero flick remained in the number one spot at this weekend’s box office, pulling in $72.5 million.
The Great Gatsby’s numbers are still notable though, considering it exceeded expectations of a projected $40 million weekend.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s highly anticipated 1920’s drama pulled in $51.2 million on its debut weekend, giving it the third best opening weekend ever for a film that didn’t make it to No.1.
