#BOXOFFICE: “IRON MAN 3” A HUGE INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS

Opening in 4,253 theatres this weekend, IRON MAN 3 is anything but a disappointment earning a stellar $170 million in its North American debut.  Already worldwide, this latest Installment in the wildly-popular Marvel Franchise, has earned $456 million.  Audiences responded extremely well, giving the Film starring Robert Downey Jr., Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce and Gwyneth Paltrow, an A CinemaScore. Although perhaps not the best reviews, Critics responded favourably with a 79% score at Rotten Tomatoes.  By comparison, The Avengers which opened exactly a year ago today, debuted with $207 million in 4,349 theatres.
