Iron Man 2 Not Making As Much As The First Movie?

Cant say what the domestic total will be, but if you include internationally its already made more than $20 million more.

toy story 3, shrek, alotta blockbusters,
but i'm not sure really, tdk came out too.
who knows

IM1 is one of my all-time favorite movies. IM2 was forgettable. You won't hear IM2 refered to as a classic comicbook staple that topped its predecessor n every way like Spider-Man 2, X2, and TDK. So it makes sense I guess...

Yea i agree with conformist21, Ironman I didnt have as much competition as Ironman II has, which could have some effect on the price drop. I'm not really sure which one is better in my opinion, I think both of them have certain parts that dominate over the other but overall they are pretty even. I just can't wait for the Avengers movie! Its going to be amazing

It's not surprising. It was way overhyped and I didn't agree with the casting which is what scared me away from it. A few tweaks on the characters here and there for the sake of it and it's likely to be panned. I just hope there's lessons to be learned from this and the same mistake won't be repeated with the Avengers...hopefully.

the reason was this fail

scarlet johnasson without russian accent one of two worst actress (jessica alba and jennifer garner) made the a russian accent,,, and what worth to bring her just for gave her 10 lines the Black Widow is an important character in the Marvel Universe i know A good actor doesn't need a lot to do to leave a big impression.

Emily Blunt would've been better i doubt she can do a Russian accent


or the following

Jessica Biel too hot for this

Gemma Arterton maybe


Natalie Portman great pick she is kind of hardworking actress and clearly she can do a accent


Jessica Alba already did an accent She was made that way.Max Guevera - Dark Angel bot no for her too brunette and can't



and Angelina Jolie we need money


other thing come one a ultimate nick fury + SLJ=




and a lot of iron man i know he is lead role but come on he gave head pain with his joke

so rush and no originality just take look at dark night
it took like 4 years to finished it and iron man took like 2 years that why dark night success

and i didn't know what mickey was doing and justin [frick]ed up this time i hope iron man 3 will be better

TANK @ Exactly and fingers crossed!

it made more worldwide than 1, and it wans't panned. it just got slightly negative review compared to 1

FYI This article is misleading, as Hela said

"Iron Man
= Worldwide: $585,174,222

Iron Man 2
= Worldwide: $609,943,647"

I guess the L.A times is wrong... Unless they were talking purely domestic. Even then, domestic totals don't mean what they used to. In reality they don't mean anything. Cash is cash, I doubt the studio cares what country it comes from.

The world doesn't end at are boarders America... lol

When the quality of film is a high as this and the first. There is no better or worse, theirs just random opinions. Witch in this case, are useless.

I thought it was as good as the first, just different because Stark had to share screen time with other Super-Heroes.

If $2 million is the difference between failure and astounding success, then it speaks more loudly about the system than the film itself.

@Tankgirl and Lee- How was this film not a success? $307 million dollars. I'm sure they are listing their regrets as we type while they're walking to the bank. Oh no, little jimmy won't get that third mansion in Europe!

@CyberViking2000- Exactly, people are just being silly.

That there will make more frakkin money than any of em, even Avatar maybe!

IM2 has grossed $609,943,647 WW.

IM1 grossed $585,174,222.

What aren't you people getting about that? FYI Ironman 2 is still making money... It made 25 million more than the first film as of last weekend. Google's your friend.

I am not sure if this was every where but ticket prices here in West Michigan went up a dollar and a quarter a ticket for regular movies and went up $3 for 3D movies just about two weeks before Iron Man 2 released. I have a few friends who still have not seen it because they said they wouldn't spend the extra money, and then a couple months go by and they are all buying Toy Story 3 tickets and Twilight tickets. I know a number of people who are going to blind buy the Blu-ray when it comes out though. So I just wonder how much that payed into the lackluster numbers here in the US. Also I am curious as to how well movies do next year when they pack in a million blockbusters into three months time.

@ Skullboy

Black Widow didn't have an accent because that's her job. Its really that simple, and your doing yourself a disservice by not seeing the film.

Its every part as good as the first, they honestly could not have done the sequel any better. It was much better than I expected.

Who cares? The movie still did exceptionally well worldwide and was pretty damned good even if it didnt live up to the brilliance of the first movie! The fact is, figures like these pretty much guarantee Iron Man 3 so I'm more than ok with this! :P

Upupandaway the movie may success in box office but he was dissipation for fan


ckal but the media should introduce black widow to the poeple doesn't read comic

the movie was like killing LEEE7777

I bet if it had been in 3D it would have made 50 million more at least. Toy Story 3 is going to destroy Iron Man 2 and guess what? It's in 3D.
