It was Iron Man vs. Robin Hood at the box office this weekend, and metal trumped bows & arrows easily.

The one movie for the girls this weekend, Letters to Juliet with Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave took in a respectable $13.2 million for third place.
Just Wright, with Queen Latifah, opened with $8.2 million. And the one flick for horror fans, Nightmare on Elm Street, took in $4.6 million for fifth place.
