It’s no big surprise that Iron Man made #1, though I’m not sure Made of Honor deserves #2. Then again, the latter stars Patrick “McDreamy” Dempsey, and given it was the only new-release alternative to Iron Man, made it’s not much of surprise. Still, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Baby Mama are much more deserving in the non-action categories.
