Iron Man 2 Does $7.5 Million at Midnight

Estimates are in for Iron Man 2's midnight screenings, and they're not quite breathtaking. The sequel earned roughly $7.5 million on about 2,500 screens -- a distant cry from New Moon's record (from last Thanksgiving weekend, but still) $26.3 million midnight haul on 3,500 screens. It's also less than half of the $18.5 million The Dark Knight made in its own Friday morning debut in 2008. Blame a school night or whatever, but it's got some catching up to do. [THR]
