The Marvel Comics adaptation, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the guy in the metal suit, hauled in $100.7 million during its opening weekend and $104.2 million since debuting Thursday night, the second-best premiere ever for a nonsequel, according to studio estimates Sunday.The film also scored overseas with $96.7 million in 57 countries where it began opening Wednesday, putting its worldwide total at $201 million.
The movie, distributed by Paramount, is the first release by Marvel Studios, which has begun financing its own productions after such studio-backed hits as the "Spider-Man," "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" flicks. Via the Chicago tribune.
After only 3 days it beat out Hellboy and Daredevil (not hard to do), but we all know it will climb up to at least where the X-men boxoffice totals were after 3 months. Personally I thought it was on par with my two favorite superhero movies (X-men 2 & Spiderman 2), here's the Superheroes Genre breakdown:
