I am so happy for Robert Downey, Jr.!!
From Variety Box Office:
Paramount and Marvel Studios' summer tentpole "Iron Man" mined enough in its box office debut to join the pantheon all-time highest openers, grossing an estimated $104.2 million domestically and $96.7 million internationally for a worldwide cume of $201 million in its first five days.
The film biz couldn't have asked for a better start to the summer season, with "Iron Man" mirroring the birth of the "Spider-Man" franchise.
Domestically, the Robert Downey Jr. topliner grossed $100.7 million for the weekend--particularly on the strength of older males--and another $3.5 million from select Thursday night shows.
That gives "Iron Man," directed by Jon Favreau, the 8th best opening weekend ever, and the second-best debut for a non-sequel after "Spider-Man," which opened to $114.8 million on the same weekend in 2002.
