Although it may have been the first big release of the Summer Movie Season–no offense to Michael Bay and his Pain & Gain<\/em> offering–Marvel’s Iron Man 3<\/em> has thrown down an impressive arc reactor-powered gauntlet down for the other summer tentpole titles to look up to as their respective release dates approach. While some may be almost dubious to Marvel’s first follow-up<\/a> to the incredibly successful The Avengers<\/em>–if the movie was honest, it would’ve been called The Adventures of Tony Stark Without the Iron Man Armor<\/em>, but I digress–that has not stopped moviegoers from throwing down their hard-earned cash to see Robert Downey, Jr once again shine in what is now his fourth turn in the Iron Man suit.<\/p>\n

So much so, in fact, that according to Variety<\/em><\/a>, the third installment in the Iron Man series is expected to break the $1 billion mark sometime this week. It should be noted, however, that this total is a worldwide mark, and not just in the United States. That being said, Iron Man 3<\/em> is already number 16 on the all time worldwide box office list regarding box office earnings, as pointed out by Box Office Mojo<\/a>. For what it’s worth, The Tony Stark Movie<\/em> has earned almost $300 million in United States.<\/p>\n

When you consider how much more is involved to push a movie close the billion dollar level, it just goes to show that, even though Iron Man 3 featured very little of, well, Iron Man in it, the movie is still very much a global-level hit. For me, the question is, is this because the audience loved the movie that much, or did the afterglow of The Avengers<\/em> mean such a value for the first Marvel Studios movie to follow the second-highest grossing movie ever was pretty much guaranteed, especially when it features Robert Downey, Jr?<\/p>\n
