Iron Man kicked off The Avengers Initiative. The only films counted in the MCU are Avengers movies since they all share the same universe; X-Men is not included.

 

 

Iron Man was a huge gamble.

 

It was Marvel's first film and it was suppose tot set up a whole new franchise of films and it stared an actor with a dark past.

Awww I miss that so much. 

Me too.

Great summer with Iron Man 1 and TDK...

So I guess a flop now means a movie that makes money but we don't like very much lol . OS gross will save this but there won't be another film.

I dunno. Maybe OS will like it so much that we'll see Hangover 4 3D Edited May 24, 2013 by riczhang

Iron Man is one of the biggest comic heroes and had a very reasonable production budget.

Captain America and Thor looked like bigger gambles to me.

IM1 was the biggest gamble. Marvel was on brink of bankruptcy and took a chance with IM. He was unknown to GA and RDJ had a checkered past. Rest is history but they really did take a massive gamble because if IM1 had flopped they would have been bankrupt.

No one knew who Iron Man was until 2008...

Furious Six sold out both 10PM shows here and the 11PM as well. The 11:30 is about to go. 

 

For reference, Hangover 3 had the same amount of shows last night and sold out nothing..

Sorry, I love these movies but the titles all blend together for me.

I don't see any Sold out shows here in NYC.

On the bright side, HO3 flop could give more room for STiD to have a good hold. Or FF6 could just take all audience of HO3 away, that is a possibility too.

I thought that was in late 90s, X-Men and Spider Man did great numbers then...

Yeah, also his comic sells like shit in comparison to how many people see the Iron Man movies.

 

Batman has five solo books and they all sell above Iron Man's only solo book

 

In April

Batman #19 - 132K

Batman and Robin #19 - 89K

Detective Comics #19 - 78K

Batman, Incorporated #10 - 56K

Batman: The Dark Knight #19 - 53K

Iron Man #8 - 44K (With Variant Covers)

 

It should get a boost in May because of IM3 but seriously Iron Man has never been near as recognizable or bankable as Batman, IM1 was a huge risk

Its doing well here in Canada so its doing well
