Numbers from Boxofficemojo.com

1. TCON: Prince Caspian - $56.57 million - 1 wk (BV)
3929 screens / $14,398 per screen
2. Iron Man - $31.2 ($222.49) - 3 wks (Par) -39.1%
4154 / $7510
3. What Happens in Vegas - $13.85 ($40.31) - 2 wks (Fox) -31.3%

1403 / $1282
9. The Forbidden Kingdom - $1 ($50.3) - 5 wks (LG) -53.9%

On one hand, under $60 million for an opening weekend for Prince Caspian may seem like a bit of a disappointment for Disney. On the other hand, they can look at the crash-and-burn of Speed Racer and count their blessings. I think Narnia is better for a winter release, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is moved to winter.
