With a worldwide box office take of $310.7 million to its name, director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe's "Robin Hood" certainly drew its fair share of attention from moviegoers across the globe.

But has the legendary archer fired off his last arrow, or will he continue to take from the rich and give to the poor in future films? As the credits rolled at the end of "Robin Hood," a title card graciously informed the viewer that the legend has just begun — but does that mean a sequel is on the way?

In anticipation of the film's upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release next Tuesday (September 21), MTV News sat down with actor Kevin Durand, who stars in the film as Little John. When we put the question of a possible "Robin Hood" sequel to the actor, Durand said that he's heard "a little bit of talk here and there" about a second tale. Read more...

Carrie Bradshaw got off to a solid start at the weekend box office with a $13 million first place finish on Friday, but her success ended there as a refueled "Shrek Forever After" tapped into its inner ogre to beat "Sex and the City 2" and "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" at the Memorial Day weekend box office.

Although Jon Favreau's "Iron Man 2" proved itself a more powerful force than Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" could handle last weekend, the red-and-gold armored superhero expended enough energy to ensure its loss against the big green ogre of "Shrek Forever After," which debuted this Friday in first place — though not as decisively as many anticipated.

When it comes to battling a high tech superhero for box office supremacy, it would be wise to pack some heavier firepower than a quiver filled with arrows. Director Ridley Scott apparently didn't get that memo, as "Robin Hood" succumbed to the might of "Iron Man 2" at the weekend box office. Read more...

3. "Letters to Juliet" ($5 million)

5. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" ($1.5 million)

Although the effort was certainly admirable, it's simply a fact of life: arrows are not strong enough to penetrate Tony Stark's high tech armor. "Iron Man 2" once again soared to the top spot on Friday, beating "Robin Hood" with a solid $15 million intake in its eighth day at the box office. Read more...

"Iron Man 2" opened last Friday, earning more than $130 million in box office sales over the weekend. Enough to land the movie in position #5 for all-time top-grossing opening weekends. It's a big movie and, by most accounts, a great sequel; few expected anything less. Now that it's out, as is always the case during the summer blockbuster season, it's time for us to start thinking about what might top it.

Summer blockbuster season is a tough time to maintain box office dominance. In the long history of film, only one summer release has a place in the top 10 consecutive #1 box office weekends: "Back to the Future," released 7/3/85, spent 8 weeks in a row at #1. "Ghostbusters," released 6/8/84, comes after that in the #11 spot with 7 weeks on top. Make no mistake: "Iron Man 2" will be usurped. The question is, when? Read more...

Weren't Robin Hood and his band of outlaws supposed to be "merry"? Ridley Scott's new take on "Robin Hood" looks like an entertaining action flick, but those Merry Men are nowhere to be seen in this latest trailer. Russell Crowe stars as the titular bandit, which suggests that this take on the story will fall closer to the Kevin Costner-starring "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." Even that movie had some light-hearted merriment though; we'll see if Scott's own take follows suit soon enough, as "Robin Hood" hits theaters on May 14.

Here we have the new "Robin Hood" trailer that premiered today during the Super Bowl. There are arrows. Flame arrows too. A little bit of Russell Crowe yelling. And then something that looks like a horse-drawn carriage gets crushed by a tree. Sweeeeeeeeet. Look for Ridley Scott's latest in theaters on May 14.
