Iron Man 3 If Iron Man 3 gets subpar reviews, but box office is good, will 4th happen?

Subpar? It's a 77%, which is higher than IM2, which...as you guessed it, got a sequel.

 

Studios doesn't really care about the review as long as the movie made a huge amount of money in the B.O.

 

'Box office good' is all you ever need to continue a franchise.

 

Obviously. $1.2b means a lot more than a high score on RT. :/

 

I don't think it's legs are gonna be that good now.

 

When movies open this big it doesn't really need it.

 

True.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if its down to 60 some perfect tomorrow.

Anyway, as long as the box-office performance is good, they would wanna make more movies.

 

The short answer is absolutely. With the kind of take this thing is doing, a 4th is as guaranteed as tomorrows sunrise. Reviews mean absolutely, less than squat when there is a profit to be made.

 

Quality used to be important to them.

 

The Transformers, Twilight and Pirates franchises all sailed merrily along with certified rotten statuses and billion-dollar cumulative hauls. Iron Man will fly along too, with Disney/Marvel happily banking their billion plus, most critics approving and most viewers satisfied. Really, people get too obsessed over RT.

 

Money has always been more so. Dont kid yourself into thinking otherwise.

 

I don't know about 1.2 billion. Star Trek into Darkness, Fast 6 and After Earth all come out in May. IM3 will make a billion but I don't see it making 1.2 billion.

 

Might not reach there but $1.1 billion and #5 WW all time seem pretty reachable.

 

To be honest I don't want IM4.

 

I'm rounding up. I think the total will be about on the high end of $1.1b.

$400m domestic and $700m foreign.

 

Well brace yourself, that sucker is coming. I wonder where things will go and rather or not RDJ will come back. Obviously its some time down the road, but itll deff be interesting.

 

That depends on the OW. If it's not 160+ million big, then I don't see it making 1.1 billion. Then again, the 3D might carry it there.

 

My prediction is around $150+ million OW. But that's just being conservative. And if the last Potter movie can manage $380 million which is a pretty bad multiplier IM3 is definitely gonna fly past that. So that's $400+ million domestic right there. While overseas has exploded and its gonna be $700+ million. So by the math I'm saying $1.1 billion is assured.

 

A lot of BO followers think it will open at $170m+. I'm expecting a near $180m opening. Its OS OW surprised, I'm expecting the domestic opening to do the same.

We're long past that conversation bro.

 

Only hardcore fans are giving this movie a thumbs down. A lot of people I know from the general audience/non-comic book readers loved it. Many have said it was their favorite of the three.

I personally would give it a solid B or 85%. Not a bad movie, but it had its flaws.
