It seems the arrows of Robin Hood were no match for the metal armor of Iron Man 2, as the former was unable to steal the weekend crown from the latter.  Iron Man 2 repeated its win from last week (though not without a steep decline) while Robin Hood may not be the failure some predicted.  Details on the top 10 after the jump.

Friday Box Office: ROBIN HOOD Challenges IRON MAN 2 for the Weekend Crown

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: May 15th, 2010 at 10:23 am

After a stellar opening day of $51.2 million last Friday, Iron Man 2 fell a steep 71% to gross $15 million a week later. The superhero flick is likely well on its way to $300 million, but the chasm between Tony Stark and Robin Hood is not quite as wide as you might have imagined, as the Ridley Scott reboot earned $13.1 million on Friday.  In an appeal to the fairer gender, Letters to Juliet earned a respectable $5 million.  Rounding out the top five, the basketball-centric Just Wright netted $2.9 million, and Nightmare on Elm Street scared up another $1.2 million.  Check back tomorrow to see if noble thief Robin Hood can steal the crown from Iron Man 2 over the weekend.

	Title	Friday	Total
1	Iron Man 2	$15,000,000	$174.1
2	Robin Hood	$13,100,000	$13.1
3	Letters to Juliet	$5,000,000	$5.0
4	Just Wright	$2,900,000	$2.9
5	Nightmare on Elm Street	$1,200,000	$53.0

Amanda Seyfried to Exit BIG LOVE

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: December 20th, 2009 at 8:12 am

January brings us the fourth season of HBO’s Big Love, but it may be the last to feature cast member Amanda Seyfried on a regular basis according to TV Guide. Seyfried plays the eldest of eight children of a polygamist family in suburban Utah, and will be written off the show in the eighth episode of the season.

The show’s creator, Will Scheffer, had this to say, “She’s been exploring her movie career for a couple of years now, and we’ve been giving her a lot of room to do that. I know having a commitment to a show for six months definitely cuts into her ability to pursue that career.” Just so there’s no confusion, Scheffer continues, “She’s moving away”. Hit the jump for what effect this may have on the show.
