Use any racing metaphor you want to describe Speed Racer's box office performance - sputtered, stalled, ran out of gas, whatever - the truth is, the $100 million movie simply failed to inspire moviegoers to fork over their cash. While Speed Racer's $20 million first weekend was way below estimates, What Happens in Vegas' $20 million opening weekend exceeded expectations. Meanwhile Iron Man continues to draw in audiences, raking in $177 million since May 2nd. Next up: Those Narnia kids are back in Prince Caspian.
