Wow! Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr., took in a whopping $100.7 million this weekend! That’s almost more than Superman Returns ($52.5 million) and Batman Begins ($48.7 million) combined!
From E! Online
Take that, Batman, Superman and just about every other kind of costume-wearing man.
Iron Man grossed $100.8 million, per studio estimates compiled Sunday by Exhibitor Relations Co., a number that makes the Robert Downey Jr. film second only to Spider-Man for comic book movie debuts.
Already, Iron Man is in heavyweight company. Its opening was bigger than those of Batman Begins ($48.7 million), Superman Returns ($52.5 million), the first two X-Men movies and Spider-Man 2 ($88.2 million). Not bad for a character that’s considered B-list to the Spider-Man-, Batman-, Superman-populated A-list.
