Only in Hollywood could a movie open with $52 million on Friday — giving it the seventh highest opening day in history — and be viewed as somewhat disappointing. But, too bad Iron Man 2 . With the stakes ratcheted to “record breaking or bust” — thanks to the advanced hype that Iron Man 2 would shatter the $158.4 million opening weekend record of The Dark Knight — all anyone is going to talk about today is that it didn’t break any records. Instead, it’s just your run-of-the-mill mammoth blockbuster and will reap major profits for all involved. So, y’know, there is some good news. The top-five ahead.
