LOS ANGELES - "Speed Racer" was lapped in its opening weekend at the box office as "Iron Man" continued to fire its jets with $50.5 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. "Racer" edged the comedy "What Happens in Vegas" for No. 2.
"Our tracking was stalled toward the end," Dan Fellman, president of Warner Bros. theatrical distribution, said about market surveys before the "Speed Racer" opening.
Fellman added "Speed Racer" would have difficulty recouping its $120 million budget.
