I've apparently been looking at Iron Man 3 totally wrong.  I considered it a sequel to Iron Man 2, and predicted accordingly.  Apparently, how I've been supposed to be doing it was looking at it as a follow-up to The Avengers.  Err, I guess?  The reviews are much better than 2 and it's taken off big time overseas.  So, I've upped my prediction.  Still lower than almost everyone else.  Mud has a chance to make the top 10 this week, after just missing out last week.  Next week brings The Great Gatsby, a film that's anyone's guess as to how it will perform both critically and commercially.
