The much hyped "Speed Racer" movie is off to a very rough start at the box office this weekend.

On Friday night, "Speed Racer" only pulled in $6.6 million which will likely only result in $25 million for the entire weekend. That's a very disappointing opening for a movie thas was expected to make at least $40M.

"Iron Man" will likely hold on to the top spot at the box office pushing "Speed Racer" to at least second. Let's just hope they get a matinee boost from the kiddies on Saturday and Sunday.

Most of the reviews that I have read says the movie creeps along at snail speed and seems to last forever.

"Speed Racer" is supposed to be one of those flicks that doesn't require a major time investment. You should probably even be able to fall asleep and wake up feeling like you didn't miss anything. From what I hear, you just want to fall asleep during this movie and never wake up!
