Iron Man bigger than Jesus, and Will Smith
May 4, 2008
Paramount Pictures release of Marvel Studios’ Iron Man total combined estimated global box office for Marvel Studios’ Iron Man is $201,000,000. “It beat Will Smith and Jesus!” gushed a Paramount insider referring to the openings of I Am Legend and The Passion Of The Christ. “It’s just mind-blowing. Internally, some people were going into high 80sM and low 90sM but people were laughing at them. We had our own box office poll and maybe one person thought $100M.” The monster numbers now make Iron Man the second biggest 3-day release for a non-sequel in the history of Hollywood, behind only Sony’s first Spider-Man. - From Nikki
