Weekend of Iron Gold

Filed under: Film Flickers

robertdowneyjr.jpg

Industry insiders are projecting that the Robert Downey, Jr.-fronted comic book flick Iron Man will make at least $75 million this weekend.

That's pretty massive!

It's good to see that the talented Downey could be coming back in a big way.

Too bad Gwenyth's also in the movie!

Ladies — don't fear — the studios didn't forget about you this Iron Man weekend. The Patrick Dempsey pic Made of Honor is coming out on Friday too.

Will you take a break from playing the new Grand Theft Auto game to catch one of these movies? Which one?

      Ugh, you couldn't PAY me to watch Made of Honor.

      Girls like action movies too. I'd much rather watch Robert Downey Jr. that Patrick Dempsey any day.

      I'll be playing GTA4 untill about 7:30 then I'll go catch Ironman. Best of both worlds.

      I work with kids all day, and they aren't interested in seeing this at all. If kids don't want to see it, then poof there goes the marketing, no sales of toys, t-shirts. This is not going to be spiderman or batman. I like RDJ, but I think he snorted his career away a long time ago. I hope he gets a little success, but he isn't even close to being as sexy as Patrick Dempsey.
      I would rather sit through a dumb movie and drool, than watch Ironman.

      I cannot wait to see this.

      But I don't want to see Made of Honour. That sounds rubbish.

      OMG It's a guy's dream weekend!!! Ok, so I decided to take a 3 day weekend so I'll be dedicating all my time for GTAIV and take a couple of hours off on Friday to watch this movie…EXCITEMENT OVERLOAD!!! I can't wait!!

      Made of Honor looks like a crappy remake of My Best Friend's Wedding. How many times has one of your friend's mistaken potpourri for snack mix? retarded

      22

      To be honest, I'll probably see both movies this weekend. My boyfriend and I are going to the midnight showing of this one tonight, so I'll make him see the other one over the weekend.

      "Ladies — don't fear — the studios didn't forget about you this Iron Man weekend. The Patrick Dempsey pic Made of Honor is coming out on Friday too."

      I take SUCH offense to that!! Ladies like action flicks just as much as guys. I, like many, will be seeing Iron Man and skipping that goofy Made of Honor. Calling movies like that "chick flicks" is a horrible way to describe them. A lot of women hate those movies. I AM IRON MAN!!!!!

      I'd spend money to watch Iron Man on the big screen. I'll just get a pirated DVD copy of Dempsey's flick for $2. Anyone wanna buy from me? Gotta love relatives from the third world!

    27. Genie says – reply to this


      27

      Perez, what makes you think ladies wouldn't want to see Iron Man? I'm all for Iron Man. . . another wedding movie, I can do without.

      are you shitting me- iron man is going to bomb worse than the hulk

      i would rather see patrick dempsey in a dress than some stupid superhero movie

    31. daydreamor says – reply to this


      31

      I'd watch anything with Robert Downey Jr. I have always loved his work, I love him too! I don't see the interest in Patrick Dempsey - BORING. Hey Perez, whats with all the type-o's lately - get it together girlfriend. Yours, hawaiian daydreamor.

    32. kimmers says – reply to this


      32

      meh maid of honor.

      i wouldn't normally be excited to see Iron Man. But if Robert Downey Jrs. in it - hell yes! He's a phenomenal actor - love everything he's been in. Plays his characters amazing every time. He'll make this movie good.

    33. I LOVE ROBERT DOWNEY JR. says – reply to this

      Perez you moron! Iron Man is a perfect movie for the ladies…we get to see Robert Downey Jr. and he is fine, fine, fine!

      hey fatty.

      if you're going to make comments about the goddess that is gwyneth paltrow, at least learn to spell her name right.

      thanks.

      41

      I'm a "lady" and I'm going to see IRON MAN! I also enjoy fast cars so cease the stereotypes will ya? And yeah I wish Paltrow wasn't in this film, since she thinks we Americans are so stupid why doesnt she do films with the Brit's only. No one wants to see her lame ass, AMERICA love it or leave it BITCH!

    42. yaya says – reply to this

      43

      GIVE ME A BREAK. That Pat Dempsey movie looks stupid — like all of his other duds. I cannot for the life of me understand why any woman would think this geek is good looking!!! As for talent, he's been around since he was a teen and I guess Hollywood is so desperate to promote a straight guy that they glommed onto PD. On the other hand, Robert Downey, Jr., is handsome and very talented.

    44. ANNA NICOLE SMITH says – reply to this


      44

      Robert Downey Jr is one of the most best actors of his generation and i think the iron man will be the come back that he needed so much.but what the hell is paltrow doing in this movie?and as for the new Grand Theft Auto,i wish i could play it on the pc!does any of u guys know if it will be released as a pc game also?although i don't like playing video games,Vice City is my favorite and i heard the new gta 4 is the shit.tell me please!

    45. r says – reply to this


      45

      i'm a lady and i'm sure as hell NOT seeing "mad of honor" that shit looks weak. plus rdj is hot and his movie looks semi funny

    46. scudder47 says – reply to this


      46

      What is yr fucking problem with Paltrow? Too tall, thin and gorgeous?

    47. nosy says – reply to this


      47

      I'd rather see Robert Downey Jr. in a dress but that's just my taste. Seriously, I find RJD super sexy. But I detest Gwyneth Paltrow. Her name is so frickin' hard to spell.

    48. Jodi says – reply to this


      48

      I may be a chick, but I don't like chick flicks.

      I'd rather watch any movie with the ultra-talented Robert Downey, Jr. over a lame wedding movie.

      Re: CanuckChick – I'm referring to Iron Man. They were showing the amazing trailer at Cineplex theatres prior to their main features. I respect Downey's acting, and will definitely go see Iron Man. Here's hoping the kick a*s trailer is not the whole movie.

      Love, love, love Robert Downey Jr. Not just sexy but so intelligent, and he comes across, for all his fucking-up, as a sweet, funny guy. I'd love to have all kinds of naughtiness with him.

      GTA has so far exceeded all my expectations! The game is unbelievable!!!!!
      Maybe sometime next week! I've got people in that game just begging to be mowed down! I just cannot fathom how massive and cool this game is! They're expecting the game to sell something like $400 M this 1st week and I can see why! Movies are cool, but getting lost in the seedy underbelly of this game is something that I will never forget, unlike most movies I usually forget about as I exit the theater!

      IRON MAN IS A FASCIST! Captain America was right. who ever thought that Iron man would sell more comics than ever before and all they had to do was bring out the fascist that was always in him and make him turn on the left wing heroes. ahh the maturity that has become comics.
