Iron Man 3 achieved the best opening weekend ever in a number of Asian countries ( Hong Kong , Indonesia , Vietnam , Taiwan , Philippines , Malaysia , and Singapore ) , which is a testament to the continent 's booming box offices , but perhaps also to Disney 's efforts to tailor the picture to better appeal to Asian filmgoers . `` Pain & Gain '' did well after unimpressive box office results for action films earlier this year . Tom Cruise 's `` Oblivion '' came in second . The film was a huge hit with critics and audiences, but it failed to make back its budget of $ 100 million dollars ( which is what the studio had said they would spend ). ` The Big Wedding '' flopped in its opening weekend .
