Iron Man was HUGE ($318/$585); we just tend to forget how big it actually was due to The Dark Knight's incredible box office run later that Summer. More importantly though, IM1's word of mouth was very strong, leading to a long run after a less than overwhelming opening weekend, and it continued to perform well on DVD. In other words, this is almost an exact replica of the formula Batman Begins used to turned TDK into an absolute monster- so look out, IM2 could very well end up the #1 movie of the Summer! | Iron Man was HUGE ($318/$585); we just tend to forget how big it actually was due to The Dark Knight's incredible box office run later that Summer.
