Yeah.. Iron Man blew away the predictions and grossed over 100 million this weekend. Estiimates by the indutry were thinking $70-75 million. Marvel has to be estatic about this as they financed the movie all by themselves. Iron man is a B player in their comics lineup which bodes well for their future considerign they have had decent success even with their B player comic movies as of late as Ghost Rider did decent business as well.

It's a shame DC Comics can't really take off other than the Batman movie which will be great. The Superman movie did pretty good, but not great, but other than those two they really haven't done much worth note with the movies. I grew up reading DC Comics moreso than Marvel and want to see Green Lantern and The Flash movies made. That said, Marvel has a bunch more movies in development right now and just announced release dates for 4new movies.

Wasting no time after the hugely successful opening of Iron Man, Marvel Studios has laid out their plans for their a bunch of new releases:

Sept 12, 2008 - Punisher: War Zone

May 1, 2009 - X-Men Origins: Wolverine

April 30, 2010 - Iron Man 2
June 4, 2010 - Thor

May 6, 2011 - The First Avenger: Captain America (tentative title)
July, 2011 - The Avengers


Looking forward to seeing the new Hulk movie this summer as well. I do want to see the Indiana Jones movie as well as the new Mummy movie along with a remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth which don't have trailers yet.
