UPDATE: ‘Iron Man’ Estimates Upped

• That does sound pretty doable.

  Great trailer, no competition. I think people are desperate for a big “summer” blockbuster movie at this point, I can’t think of what the last big fun movie was.

  If Daredevil can do 45, this should do 50 easily. I’m guessing somewhere in the 60′s and over 200M total.

• If Iron Man and Tropic Thunder meet expectations, it looks like it’s going to be the “Summer of Downey,” which I think is a good thing.

  He can be a role model to the young actors polluting Hollywood these days as someone who got clean and rebuilt his career by a combination of great talent, and sheer dogged hard work.

• And I’m sure Iron Man will get that amount of money.

• Hey Nikki. What’s the expected lifetime domestic box office gross for Iron Man? I’ve read elsewhere that it’s hovering somewhere between $200-300 million, but could go even higher.

• 78 million opening, 245 lifetime is the wager I’m putting on my box office pool. Indy will have a lower opening but a bit more legs, I’d say 65 open/250 lifetime. And Tropic Thunder… as amazing as it looks, I don’t know how much an R-rated comedy aimed solely at guys can do without the Apatow mush for girls.
