Iron Man 2 made an estimated $52 million on its opening day in the United States, a number boosted by $7.5 million from Thursday midnight shows reports Deadline Hollywood. That figure has early estimates of a three-day opening weekend at around $130-140 million, placing it around about the fifth highest opening weekend of all time - just shy of last year's "New Moon " at $142.8 million.
IM 2 has the widest domestic release in history, playing in 4,380 U.S. theaters. Internationally the film, opened last Friday, and has finished its first week with an overseas haul of about $140 million.
Final review averages were solid for the sequel, with a 74 % and a 6.5/10 score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 57/100 metascore and 7.5/10 user score on Metacritic.
But you'll recall the more acclaimed first "Iron Man had a 93% (7.6/10) on RT and a 79/100 (8.3/10) on MC.--Meaning IM 2 final theatrical tally could be lower if general audiences feel the same way about the sequel as the critics--good but not great
