Iron Man stands its ground

Iron Man was released in theaters last week and made a lot of money to say the least. In fact, it was $104.2 million dollars to be precise. I have no doubt that many of you have already seen it, which makes me feel a bit ashamed to say that I wasn't as vigilant about the movie as I should have been. But anyway, a while back several analysts (including Edward Woo from Wedbush Morgan and Mike Hickey from Janco Partners) predicted that, basically, having Grand Theft Auto IV's release only days before Iron Man's would affect the ticket sales substantially.

If you clearly look at the extremely high numbers for Iron Man, you'll notice this is clearly not the case! [via Variety]
