With a record-smashing $195.3 million international opening, Disney-Marvel's "Iron Man 3" soared past last year's $185.1 million overseas debut of "The Avengers," marking the biggest opening weekends in many territories throughout Asia and Latin America.
The nearly $200 million bow for "Iron Man 3," which kick started Wednesday in a few markets and rolled out to 42 total territories, still trails the benchmark international openings of such blockbusters as "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" ($260.4 million) and the reigning champ, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," with its $307 million overseas start.
The feeling of an early summer kick start, provided by "Iron Man 3," may have helped Paramount's Stateside launch of its mid-budgeted Michael Bay laffer "Pain and Gain," which overperformed with an estimated $20 million through Sunday. The $26 million film was tracking somewhere in the mid-to-high teens.
"Iron Man 3″ earned top coin in every market led by the U.K., where it grossed $21.5 million. South Korea followed, with $19.2 million, while in Australia, the film grossed an estimated $18.4 million in five days, a studio best for both Disney and Marvel.
Imax also earned a company high for any Marvel release with "Iron Man 3," contributing $7.2 million on just 113 screens. That translates to a whopping average of $64,000 per screen.
The way am seeing it IRON MAN 3 might actually hit a billion dollar mark.... But it still has 2 be proven. Iron man is actually taking the spot light in the super hero world now...but MAN OF STEEL is still there also... This summer is just so fascinating cause the films coming out. Are crazy. I think ill soon get a pop corn machine ....
We'll keep on updating you if anything new comes out ...
