Jon Favreau sounded tired on the phone Sunday morning. It had been a long weekend, but a great weekend. And a profitable one: The director of "Iron Man" was hearing that his film would crack the $100-million mark in its opening weekend, a staggering success for a movie that, as Favreau put it, nobody really cared about or was thinking about when it was announced two years ago. Favreau and the film's star, Robert Downey Jr., were all over town Thursday and Friday, dropping in at theaters to gauge the crowd reaction and, in some spots, give the fans a bit of a thrill.

BABY MAMA Takes Top Spot
28.04.08 07:43
The Tina Fey-Amy Poehler pregnancy comedy "Baby Mama" bounced its way to becoming the No. 1 movie over the weekend with an estimated $18.3 million, followed closely by stoner sequel Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, which landed at No. 2 with an estimated $14.6 million. At No. 3 was the Jet Li-Jackie Chan adventure fantasy Forbidden Kingdom, which took $11.2 million to edge out Forgetting Sarah Marshall's $11 million. Both films were holdovers from last week.
