Will Iron Man Steal Batman’s Box Office Crown?

Its possible with no other options that weekend to break Dark knight’s opening, but hardly will it gross over a billion after the dust has settled. Hollywood has finally caught up with what we’ve all known. Comics converted to Film done right makes big money

I loved the first Iron man film so don’t get me wrong, but the sequel tried to be Dark Knight(character study as opposed to fun hero flick) so it lost something.

i hope its as uccess but being succesful makes me think they’ll try and make the rest of the Marvel films “serious” as opposed to fun lighthearted hero banter.

i also loved Dark Knight i just think certain heroes lend themselves more to character studies than others.

I don’t need Iron Man to beat Dark Knight, but after reading that quote all I care about is that Robert Downey Jr. wins personally, whatever way that can be. “Did I say that? Even if I didn’t say that, I fucking mean it.”

In the immortal words of Kenny Banya, “That’s gold, Jerry! Gold!”

Dan: Losers isn’t competition — it’s basically been a failure at the box office. While it’s unlikely that Iron Man will beat The Dark Knight, if for no other reason than it’s a rather HUGE number for any movie to attain, Batman may be popular but in comparison BATMAN BEGINS wasn’t nearly as impressive, despite the fact Batman had possibly the recognizable brand amongst super hero films. Iron Man, with a little help from Downey, is as equally recognizable a brand as Batman was after BATMAN BEGINS.

I think Iron Man will hit $100 million, give or take $5 million.

Not a chance of this happening. Not. A. Chance. It doesn’t really make a difference to me one way or another if it does, but let’s be realistic…
