  2. The Great Gatsby    $51.1M
  3. Pain & Gain    $5M
  4. Peeples    $4.8M
  5. 42    $4.6M

  9. Mud    $2.3M
  10. Oz the Great and powerful    $.8M
Iron Man 3 is still on top. It helps that both males and females, and young and old like it. The Great Gatsby is a surprise here with second place and over $50M. It seems to have enough visual/star power to create interest and draw an audience into theaters. The rest of the list has been stable, but not overwhelming.
