The Great Gatsby would have needed an incredible weekend to beat out Tony Stark at the box-office.
The delayed adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzergerald novel had a solid debut, taking in $51.1 million. That wasn’t enough to hold off Iron Man 3, which took in $72.5 million in ticket sales.
After that, it was a long drop to third place for Pain and Gain, which took in $5 million. The latest movie from Tyler Perry The Peeples debuted to only $4.8 million.
Rounding out the top five was 42 with $4.6 million in ticket sales.
