Iron Man 3' Has The Second-Highest Weekend Ever At Theaters — Here's Your Box-Office Roundup

"Iron Man 3" has earned $680 million worldwide.

"Iron Man 3" blew all of the competition away this weekend. 

The three-quel earned a massive $175.3 million opening weekend. 

That's not a surprise.  

Moviegoers not only saw the film as a sequel to 2010's "Iron Man 2," but also as a followup to last year's highest-grossing film, "The Avengers." 

The result may not have been as high as the opening weekend for "The Avengers"—the movie wasn't as kid friendly—but the film still set box-office records in China and here as the second-highest opening weekend at theaters. 

Meanwhile, the rest of the box office took a huge beating. 

Out of the top ten this week include Gerard Butler's "Olympus Has Fallen," "Jurassic Park in 3D," and "G.I. Joe: Retaliation."  

"Retaliation" took a hard hit this weekend dropping five spots and more than 65%. After six weeks, the film has taken in $355.9 million worldwide.
