Iron Man Box office projections

[blind_fury]

Based on what we know (140+ budget, fan-friendly director and studio), how much do you think Iron Man will make domestic/worldwide? Also how much does it need to gaurantee a sequel?

 

[blind_fury]

my predictions:

If it's really good, 180 million domestic/ 320 worldwide

If it sucks, 110 domestic/ 220 woldwide

It will neeed at least 250 worldwide to gaurantee a sequel.

Whether the film is actually good or not, they need to make sure they market it right in order to do good BO. DD wasn't a great film (IMO) but I remember before the film came out, every commercial break there was a DD spot. If I recall it did respectable BO numbers for a movie about a lesser known hero. We definitely need a "from the creators of Spider-man and the X-men" tagline and colorful images of IM doing cool stuff, as well as a LOT of promotional tie-ins (fast food toys, video games, etc.), to get the kids saying "Mommy! Mommy! I wanna see Iron Man!"

 

[Ironman24]

I agree, while its abit to early to speculate on box office takes for a film 2 years away, marvel needs to make Iron man more well known, his involvement in Civil War, good or bad is a start, they need to get a weekly aniamated series and more exposure,like tie ins as Spider-man said, now, do I think Iron Man will have kids saying "Mommy,Mommy,I want to see Iron Man", yeah, I can see that, but Marvel and Paramount have alittle work to do to get there,imo.

i'm predicting 300 million domestic/ 600 million wordlwide. for this one reason...he is easily accesible to all age groups. he's not a goffy superhero with unbelievable powers and villians.

600 million???

Only 30 movies have made over 600 million. It's not an easy task.

 

[Ironman24]

600 million???

Only 30 movies have made over 600 million. It's not an easy task.

I agree, thats extremly optimistic, it would be very difficult for a Superhero movie to make that kind of money.

I can't make a projection till I see who the cast is. If it's a solid cast and Fav's gets a great script 200 million domestic is the limit this new franchise can make and perhaps 175-200 overseas. Honestly the publics first perception of this film will be the trailers. Forget what we read and see here.

 

[Gogo Bananas]

More than Gigli.
Hopefully.

Going in blind as I am, if it's good then I could see an opening of similar caliber to X1 and FF(50M range) and a total of 175M. Probably 125M or so overseas. So 300M WW. If it beats that then I'll bee an even happier man.

600 million???

Only 30 movies have made over 600 million. It's not an easy task.

Well there is a saying "reach for the stars, you may not get one but at least you won't come up with a handfull of mud" Now looking back that was to high but i think spidey one type numbers are attainable.

$200M domestic would be a massive success and is the top of the scale for Iron Man,anything north of $150 domestic is a big hit for a fresh franchise
WW numbers i think will be around $120-25M
