Seems the stats geniuses that track public opinion and predict boxoffice say that reactions are trending well for Iron Man 2. While that might not be big news considering the broad appeal of the film, what is interesting is that if the stats reflect boxoffice, Iron Man 2 could potentially beat the Biggest Openning Weekend Record.
According to the LA Times, just-released tracking surveys show that IRON MAN 2 is pulling in some off-the-charts numbers that prove it might just be able to take the cake. They claim “astonishing levels of interest and awareness” about the film and not just among slap happy fanboys. Women in their 20s and 30s are tracking surprisingly high for the film, a surprise for a FX-driven superhero film.
Spiderman 3 had a $151m opening, which was dethroned by The Dark Knight at $158m.
And we wonder why Hollywood wants to make nearly every comic book into a feature film lately? Marvel was pretty smart to start their own studio as this trend of viable Superhero films is not going anywhere soon.
Do you think Iron Man 2 could break the record?
I know I will be there opening weekend.
