Long Range Forecast: 'Iron Man 3'
Featured Stories - on March 09, 2013 by BOXOFFICE Staff
At long last, it's time to start looking ahead to 2013's summer slate. This week, early thoughts and predictions for the highly anticipated Iron Man 3 have been added to our Long Range Forecast.
Iron Man 3
PROS:
- The first two Iron Man films have been blockbuster performers with very consistent respective total domestic grosses of $318.4 million and $312.1 million.
- Goodwill from the success of The Avengers could pay off in a big way for the Marvel franchise's most successful standalone character thus far.
- Early online buzz is noticeably strong.
- As the summer kick-off release, this will benefit from the lack of event-level movies so far in 2013.
- Adding 3D to it's arsenal increases the odds that this becomes the biggest opener and overall highest grossing Iron Man film yet.
CONS:
- This will be the fourth on-screen appearance of the character in the past five years. Is there a risk of audience fatigue?
- The lukewarm reception to Iron Man 2 could cancel out some of the goodwill from The Avengers.
- The crowded May schedule. Star Trek Into Darkness, Fast & Furious 6, and The Hangover Part III will provide major competition; a level of competition which Iron Man and Iron Man 2 didn't face.
Notable changes on our forecast this week include The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, The Call, Olympus Has Fallen, Admission, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Host, and Oblivion.
