‘Iron Man’ Is Impressive at the Box Office in Its Opening Weekend – New York Times
LOS ANGELES — “Iron Man” blasted into the box office stratosphere over the weekend, selling an estimated $100.8 million in tickets at North American theaters and almost certainly establishing a new movie franchise for Marvel Entertainment.
“The word of mouth through the weekend was tremendous,” said David Maisel, chairman of Marvel Studios, the New York entertainment company’s newly created film production unit. “I can’t think of a better start.”
I watched Iron Man today and I must say, it was pretty damn good! BTW, if you’re planning to watch it, make sure you stay after the closing credits – there’s a bonus scene at the end. The next on my watch list is the new India Jones.
