I was expecting a great opening weekend for this film, but not this great. Iron Man staring Robert Downey Jr. and directed by John Favreau opened with a little over $100 million dollars domestically and over $96 million internationally , equally an estimated $200 million dollars. Maybe it’s the lack of a good action flick or the warm weather; whatever it was people came out in droves and it shows. Congrats!
