Speed Racer Bombs

Iron Man continues to crush the competition with domestic receipts totalling $177.1 million, and the international total reaching a whopping $276.1 million.

Speed Racer, which cost $200 million, has been a huge bomb this weekend with opening receipts totalling a dismal $20.2 million. Bombs don’t get much worse than this. Looks like Christina Ricci will need to keep working on her silver screen comeback.

Some of the other studios are claiming that Warner Brothers isn’t fudging the total take for Speed Racer, to make it look like they had a second place finish. If that’s true, then Speed Racer is a complete disaster.

Robert Downey Jr., who played Tony Stark in Iron Man, is already signed to reprise his role in the Iron Man sequel scheduled to be released in April of 2010.
