Super-hero
blockbuster sequel "Iron Man 3" stayed on top at the US box office
after it's mega debut a week earlier -- but "The Great Gatsby" was also a
power player, industry figures showed Monday.
On its second weekend in US theaters, "Iron Man 3," starring Robert Downey Jr as the title character, took in $72.5 million, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.
Adding to its take since it opened last weekend with $175.3 million -- the second biggest box office debut ever -- the comic book superhero flick has now racked up a total of $284.9 million.
But "The Great Gatsby," starring Leonardo Di Caprio in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of the literary classic, was a respectable number two, with $50.1 million in box office receipts in its opening weekend.
