Irom Man (2008)Based on Friday estimates, it's clear that Iron Man will spend its second weekend at #1. The flick brought in around $15 million on Friday and easily beat two newcomers.

It looks as though the Cameron Diaz/Ashton Kutcher romantic comedy is going to finish in second for the weekend. Estimates have the film bringing in around $7.1 million, which means it should bring in a little more than $20 million for the weekend.

Warner Bros. can't be happy about the opening of Speed Racer which is estimated to have brought in only around $6 million for a third place finish. With a budget circling around $100 million, Racer may prove to be a sizable dud so early into the summer season.

The rest of the top 10 was pretty standard with films such as Made of Honor, Baby Mama and Forgetting Sarah Marshall finishing in the same order they did this past week.

However, after expanding to 1,379 screens, the David Mamet karate-themed Redbelt was able to land at the #10 spot.

Check back as more weekend numbers become available.
