Well done, old sport!

For one night and one night only, The Great Gatsby kicked Iron Man 3's ass in theaters!

The threequel is the second highest-grossing superhero flick ever - having now made over $1 BILLION internationally - but Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation beat it out for the top-money-making flick in North America yesterday, with an impressive $3.9 million from 3,535 theaters!

Hell yeah! Leonardo DiCaprio still has it!

Meanwhile, the latest from Robert Downey, Jr. pulled in a close second, with $3.85 million from 4,253 screens!

As one exec puts it:

Did anyone really expect otherwise this weekend?!

WE sure didn't!

Iron Man 3 has already DOMINATED during its early release in the overseas markets, took in an INCREDIBLE $15.6 million in its midnight release this past Thursday alone, and now, has effortlessly made its way to the TOP of the weekend's domestic box office top ten…with a momentous $175.3 million!

And while it didn't quite come close enough to break the $207.5 million record that The Avengers achieved this time last year, the super-hero threequel can now be considered the SECOND biggest opening weekend of all time!

Ah-MAY-zing! Maybe that Gwyneth Paltrow spin-off isn't so terrible an idea, after all!

After midnight, fans let it all hang out. And by it, we mean all the money in their pockets.

After a heroic press tour by Robert Downey, Jr., Iron Man 3 had a super-sized midnight premiere, taking in an estimated $15.6 million overnight.

The midnight numbers mark a franchise record, more than doubling Iron Man 2's numbers and dwarfing the original's $1.5 mil.

This brings the film's international box office earnings to $361 million, and the U.S. is just getting started!

The flick is expected to remain invincible through the weekend and hit somewhere around $150 MILLION!

Wondering where this display of power ranks amongst the other blockbusters of recent years? If those estimates are right, IM3 will be lucky number 13.
