Iron Man Box office Predictions/reactions

[MetalMario]

I'm predicting:

$90million opening weekend
$275 total domestic gross

I just can't see it cracking 300million, especially considering how things went last year.

How about you?

[GF Eric]

Its going to be a box office hit and its going to make over 500 million dollars in the movies. AS fro the opening weekend I say 125 million dollars. This movie has a lot of promise.

[jakncoke]

Opening weekend: 75
Total USA: 275


GF_Eric: You do know that only 1 movie ever has gone over 500 million in US history?

I think Indiana Jones will challenge it, dunno what's big for the rest of the year...isn't there another harry potter movie this summer?

[IceCold]

I know I don't follow comics or anything... but is Iron Man really that big a character?
I haven't heard any buzz from friends on this at all on this and they are usually all over big blockbusters so:

35m tops, quick drop off.

Even Daredevil opened with $40 million and that character isn't as well known as Iron Man, at least I don't think he is. And Ghost Rider too. Both movies are crap, but Iron Man at least looks promising, so at the very least, a $40-$50 million opening should be easy for it to pull off.

[Samus-Fan]

225 Mil is what I am guessing. The commercials make it look good, and a lot of people go to see these hero movies. I can't see it gonig over 300 either.

[Raw!]

Iron Man this popular?
The opening would probably be around 100m?

Domestic Gross maybe 200-300m.

[conman1000]

I'm an idiot, and I pciked 350-400 thousand.

[Iceskater101]

I dont want to see this movie i will probably end up renting this movie. I have seen DareDevil and it sucks and Ghost Rider was kinda bad too so idk.

[EpsilonX]

[Iceskater101]

[jakncoke]

102.1(although I have read many different number but none above 105 or below 97) or 10th best weekend ever. So pretty much Raw will be wrong soon and then

10th? I thought it was the 2nd biggest opening day or something.
I couldn't really follow what anyone was saying about it, lol.

[jakncoke]

If you click the link then scroll up a bit you'll see it had the 18th best day, you got bad info.

[jakncoke]

Just a little update, as of May 12th it's at 181.6 million

Iron Man (2008) (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=ironman.htm)

[rukisuto]

Heh, and it's already made 350 million world wide.
Go Iron Man :]

[jakncoke]

Placed 2nd behind Chronicles of Narnia debut of 56.5...222.4...looking like 250-300 will be correct, unless it has some crazy long legs...but I can't see that happening.

[conman1000]

Narnia was good, I saw it Saturday night.

[KittyCat72]

I'm not really into movie like that so I probably won't like it, but I'm guessing it's going to be a pretty big movie...

[jakncoke]

Iron Man did 20.4 this weekend and is up too $252,614,669. Iron Man was taken out of 239 theatres this week..will be interesting to see what's it down after this upcoming week
