Fantasy Moguls reports that after two days of release, Iron Man has pulled in a great total of $40 million domestic, which is broken down by $5.2 million on it’s opening night of release (Thursday) and a further whopping $35 million on Friday alone.
At this rate the film has an extremely good chance of nearing that elusive $100 million figure for the weekend. Even if it falls short of that, there ain’t no way in hell of a sequel not being rushed into production when the reviews have been so spectacular and the film so popular with everyone who see’s it.
The film will likely end up being the biggest non-sequel opening of all time after the original Spider-Man. Impressive stuff – this is a Marvel project that should be the blueprint of how future movies are put together behind-the-scenes with the directing and acting talent.
Internationally which included some screenings which took place before the U.S – the film has taken in $57.4 million and that’s before Fridays numbers are counted according to The Hollywood Reporter.

like i told my wife this is the most unique marvel movie adaptation yet. this should beat spiderman easily. i loved spiderman, fantastic 4 , superman returns and batman begins, THIS IS BETTER….. keep it going and strike fast while this is hot.
Iron Man was practically flawless as a super hero flick; it drops pretty obvious hints that would indicate a sequel as well… i’m thinking the next one should be equally great
