Well deserved in my opinion. But I think this movie won't do as well as Avengers with GA. This one had more brain.

All cinemas here in the Philippines have Iron Man 3 in it.
No other foreign or local movie wants to go against it.
I wont even wonder if it will reach 1 Billion before the month of May ends

I war reading something. And people I love comicbook movies and all but I think it time might be done. I do not think Avengers 2 will make what 1 did now.

We got Star Wars coming. Say what you will but Star Wars I think will shatter Avengers record.

Sides was their any doubt Iron Man 3 would do this. NO it seems like every year a record being broken now. It seem easier to do now.

The last two comic book movies both made 1 billion if Avengers and Dark Knight Rises can do it so can Man of Steel and Ironman 3.

Marvel / Disney have the same formula that Apple managed to create a group of "fans" who will adore the products they make, althought they are mediocre

Ironman 3 is a big disappointment, it is now more like watching an episode of a cartoon.


The film is entertaining if you are a kid or a 110 kilos MarvelNerd, sorry but it's true

THE MAN OF STEEL CAN'T TOUCH THIS ! WOW WOW WOW WOW !

I actually agree. Does not take my excitement about MOS away though.

If the people could take ther money back after seeing the movie, then it wouldn't make that much money. The win is based on the trailer, not on the movie itself.

Ironman 1 stays as the best and the other two are just crap. Everyone who knows the shitty end and twist will know.

People MOS will be good but it not going to make a billion. One it not a sequel it coming off a poor reviewed previous movie. I think it will do well tough. Just not Dark Knight or Avengers or Iron Man 3 level. Now the MOS sequel that a different story.

i believe all of marvels phase 2 movies will see an increase of box office takings thanks to the popularity of the avengers & of course iron man.

69ballZdeep is opening bigger that avengers in some areas. Not all. I still do not think it will be bigger than Avengers. If it does i be totally shocked

@Intruder
It is only because of Avengers that more people are going to go to Iron Man and Thor. Its a pointless comparison.

Also, making a million sales may have nothing to do with luck... but it also might mean there's a million people stupid as f*ck.

I doubt most people will go back for seconds and thirds like so many did with Avengers. While I wish success for the MCU, I wont be showing any love until Thor.

I could be wrong though. Iron Man 3 could beat Avengers.

IRON MAN 3 was not that bad but i wont say it was great if u compare to Avengers..but it may earn nearly same as MOS coz MOS is gonna be great but IM3 will earn on the Basis of this particular line -->"From the Makers of AVENGERS". and Also Iron Man is a pop culture Hero which Spider-Man used to be few Years ago.

How much did they spend on it anyways?.... or perhaps I should phrase the question: "how much did they shell-out on it?".

(Iron-Man pun intended)

Well.... that was expected even though I hate Iron Man's movies well not hate hate but dislike them(mostly 2 and the twist in 3) im glad he's getting records broke for his last movie of the trilogy but wait till MOS comes in hopefully with Nolans name on it we can beat some records too.
