Iron Man's just plain "Super" opening

According to Variety, Iron Man amassed $102,118,668 during its first weekend, including Thursday night screenings.

It is a simply astounding result for the film and especially Marvel Studios. The film is the flagship production for the film production offshoot of the comic empire and bodes well for its future. Iron Man 2 is already set for release in summer 2010 with the cast and crew returning. Next up for the studio is The Incredible Hulk on June 13th.

Given the overwhelmingly positive response for Iron Man, it seems assured to have staying power, perhaps enough to make over $250 million before it leaves theatres and goes onto make millions more on DVD.
