Will 'Iron Man' or 'The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian' earn more on their respective opening weekends?

I don't understand the none of the above option? They're tied? That's not counting a different movie doing better, right?

I assume the 'None of the above' option is for a tie. The question is just for these two movies, head to head.

NONE OF THE ABOVE? With a choice of two, how can you have none? Perhaps if neither movie opens? Both get postponed? I doubt they will be cancelled at this stage...What a strange choice....

Iron Man is the safe bet here. Action movie, former drug addict, summer. How can it not beat a "kid's" movie that has morals.

agreed. morals suck.

the history graphs seem to be doing a lot better recently

None of the above was really a concession to the slim slim chance of a tie, or one of the movies not opening or something...you never know, stranger things have happened on hubdub!

Settled according to the weekend charts on the-numbers.com which I do believe are US figures.

Iron man is going to be hit hard by its target audience being busy playing GTA 4.

However, GTA 4 will not at all effect the target audience of Narnia. I'm going Narnia on this.

hmm why did i bet on none of the above?
its worth has gone down to 2 dollars
i thought it was if any movie beat these two
wow i think i lost that

iron man will no do well as it is out the weekend after gta 4. I my self had pland to see it with friends but will not as i will be playing gta

Narnia is the clear winner in my opinion ... Yes that is the minority position, until just now, haha, but the fact is, Iron Man was written by a 3 year old or some other talentless yack, they destroyed a GREAT character and theme and just wrecked it with this crummy script, and anyway, Narnia has 3 years of anticipation for this 2nd film and the original opened with nearly $66 million and it was untested at the time and went on to earn nearly $300 million, whereas Iron Man is only expected to end up around $230 million by the end of its theatrical run which calls for an opening of right at $70 million MAX, and I could see Narnia easily opening around $75 million and I think, take that as a guess, of Iron Man opening under $65 million.
So, there are my 2 cents worth :-D Haha, and that about ALL this opinion may be worth, hahaha :-D
See you all after Narnia opens :-D

Iron Man is kicking major ass this weekend. Reviews are outstanding.

Wow- I'm definitely second-guessing all the H$ I have on Narnia. What do you all think- does it have a chance?

No chance. Iron Man grossed 100 mil in the first weekend. There's only been about ten other movies that have done that ever. I'm gonna go fund this race tomorrow :D.

Narnia is tracking for about $60 mill:

#1: Wrong weekend, kids are still in school
#2: Disappointing reviews
#3: Sequel

#5: Not Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings
#6: No sex, drugs, or bloody gore

Uh-oh
(Looks like "Chronicles..." will take the lead

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian only pulled in $56.6 million (according to studio estimates), while Iron Man pulled in over $100 million it's opening weekend. Iron Man - Awesome!!
