Disney continues to reap a advantages of their Marvel merger as Iron Man 3 starring Robert Downey Jr. warranted approximately $175 million on opening weekend. The film follows Downey’s impression Tony Stark/Iron Man traffic with a issue of a events of final year’s The Avengers, that warranted over $1.5 billion worldwide.

This third film in a Iron Man authorization now binds a record for a second-best box bureau opening weekend ever. It usually seems suitable that a film holding a record for best opening weekend ever is a aforementioned The Avengers, with $207.4 million.

Not usually is a box bureau sum startling since of a place in a record books, though Hollywood has always been doubtful of either or not a film authorization has “legs” to continue being renouned when releasing a third installment. In addition, Jon Favreau, who destined a initial dual films (and binds a tiny purpose in this movie) handed a directorial reigns to Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). Neither of those concerns could stop a film from earning an ‘A’ on CinemaScore or aggregation tighten to $680 million worldwide as of May 5th. If that series doesn’t seem impressive, Iron Man 2 warranted $623 during a worldwide box bureau over a whole run.

Downey Jr. has been decorous about either or not he’s peaceful and/or meddlesome in personification Iron Man in any some-more films (including a yet-to-be-titled Avengers sequel). Regardless of his decision, a 3 films in a Iron Man authorization have total to acquire scarcely $1.9 billion. Even some-more amazing? Downey Jr. recently confirmed a traffic of a singular contractual proviso in Hollywood that pays an actor/actress a commission of a film’s profits. He reportedly sealed such an agreement before personification Iron Man for a initial time behind in 2008, and recently reliable this understanding done him tighten to $50 million richer since of a success of The Avengers. While a specifics of a understanding have usually been speculated, suppose how most he might have warranted from personification a same impression in 4 opposite films that have warranted an extraordinary $3.3 billion.
