Movie Theater iron man 3

Well, in an earlier thread before the film came out, I mentioned that this would likely be the last of the Ironman films. Yet, the film is about to break $1 billion worldwide and still has some legs, so I wouldn't put it past Marvel to decide to do another, however it may be 3-4 years as they will want to get the second Avengers film out before then. In fact, "The Avengers" seemed to have a big effect on how well "Ironman 3" did, essentially breaking the paradigm a bit. Normally with sequels, the one that follows a disappointment tends to do financially less, even if it's a critical success. So even though "Ironman 2" was kind of a let down, between it and "Ironman 3" was "The Avengers", which did crazy good business and essentially erasing the poor performance of the previous film in people's minds. Instead of thinking, "oh, Ironman 2 kind of sucked, so I'll just wait for netflix", people were thinking "oh man, The Avengers so was awesome - hell yeah, Ironman 3!"
