North American audiences are forced to wait until Friday, May 3, for the domestic release of Marvel’s Iron Man 3, but that hasn’t stopped Tony Stark from drumming up a massive box office take this past weekend in foreign markets. The sequel grossed $195.3 million in 42 markets, which beats out the $185.1-million international debut for The Avengers.
After never even knowing it existed, I just watched The Hard Way this weekend after listlessly picking through Netflix’s thinning Instant Watch options, and came out pleasantly surprised. As a lover of hip-hop, any movie that features LL Cool J and an unfathomably young Mos Def (or Yasiin Bey as he’s now known) is going to be right up my alley.

Drive has moved up to #9 all-time on Flickchart, passing Raiders of the Lost Ark. Which do you prefer?
Whoa, this could end up being a week where Netflix Instant gains more than it loses!
