No one was really interested in that movie, regardless of when it came out. Also it was in September, not usually a high point in the movie year. They're will be an audience for both of them.

If you got 60 clams to plunk down on this game, you've got another 10 to drop on Marvel.

Of course people can do both, but depending on the media released. One can easily take steam away from the other. Videogames are a beast especially now a days compared to film, they rake in the millions easily. Hell even Hollywood wants in on the videogame gravy train. Mike,

I will be at a showing day it opens, this movie will be huge, I think it may be bigger than Batman for casual fans, since it is not as dark (though Batman will rock too).

This very issue has ran through my head MANY times since April 29th was set in stone for GTA: IV. Growing up, my favorite comic book was Iron Man. To this day, Iron Man is hands down my favorite super hero. On top of this, I have been a huge fan of the video game industry and the art of the virtual world (which Rockstar is arguably the best at) So, I have my GTA: IV reserved, which will be picked up directly after work on the 29th. A few days later, I think I can take a few hours of time away from the game to check out what could easily be the best comic book flick to date! As a side note... I do believe that there is no better way to describe this situation than "clusterf**k of awesome."!!! (Priceless, Hunter) I’m at a loss for words. This very issue has ran through my head

I am not sure if it will make more cash then Halo 3 but all in all it will still makes lots of dough. As far as Ironman is concerned though, I dont see it cutting into the movies profits that much or any at all. Ironman will be huge also. Hey, I play loads of video games also, but I can see lots of people always taking breaks to, and what better way to do that then to go to a movie. Take your wives or girlfriends you all, especially if you have one like mine even know I play lots of video games. Think of it like this, you know they are always complaining about the video games you are always playing, just take them to a movie and then they will think you are trying to do "other stuff" and at the same time you get to see an AWESOME movie at the same time haha......

I am sure there are plenty people in the US alone that occassionally leave there house from video games just to get out, and what better to do when you do that then to watch a movie? Take your girlfriends or wives everyone lol, if you are as fortunate to have a girlfriend or wife like I do and still spend loads of time on video games. Hell, you know they already think you spend to much time on video games, then take them to a movie. They will probably think you are doing something good by getting away from the video games and at the same time you getting to see an absolutely astonishing movie, what could be better haha.........

ONE PERSON.. say anything about Ironman in real life, I feel that Ironman will greatly underperform. And I'm a film student that goes to school with hundreds of white males in the target demographic as well as being friends with a bunch of other guys that like movies.. no one knows what Ironman is or really give a shit about it. I'm not trying to come down hard on it, I have tremendous respect for Robert Downey Jr. and a bit of admiration for Jon Favreua but how is this movie any different to the general public than Daredevil or any other comic book movie that's not Spiderman or XMen?
