From Boxofficemojo.com:

Iron Man 2 opened with an estimated $133.6 million this weekend, and "accounted for nearly three quarters of overall business, while last weekend's top grosser, A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), predictably fell into the abyss as horror movies often do. The slasher remake bled 72 percent to an estimated $9.2 million, bringing its total to $48.5 million in ten days. Its drop was steeper than Freddy Vs. Jason and Halloween (2007) (each was off 64 percent), but smaller than Friday the 13th (2009), which had an 80 percent crash."

Warner distribution president Dan Fellman told The Wrap, that A Nightmare on Elm Street's $30 million take this weekend "is the largest horror opening in the April-May corridor, and it just proves there’s a lot left in the franchise," insinuating there will be a sequel even though there is no planned story or direction yet.

A Nightmare on Elm Street topped the box office this weekend earning an estimated $32.2 million. We will have a full report tomorrow -- plus we wrap-up our Best Death Tournament!

Let's get this out of the way: Jackie Earle Haley is not Robert Englund. It was common knowledge when the reboot was announced that they would cast someone new as Freddy Krueger. I will admit, even I was saddened by the news. Let's face it, would you have wanted Sean Connery as James Bond in Quantam of Solace? No. And not because he's too old. I'm certain he could still pull it off. It's becasue the new 007 movies have taken a different direction. Englund could be Freddy again with both hands tied behind his back. But this is not the old Nightmare on Elm Street.
