'Iron Man 3' Breaks Box-Office Records With $175.3 Million Opening Weekend
"Iron Man 3" blew away the competition at the box office this weekend.
Tony Stark's big return to theaters brought in a massive $175.3 million in its debut.
Box office estimates had the third film in the franchise earning anywhere from $135-$170 million.
Though it didn't duplicate the success of last year's "The Avengers" which brought in an astounding record-breaking $207 million opening weekend, "Iron Man 3" now sits second on the list, beating out "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2."
The film has now earned $680 million worldwide, and is well on its way to becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all time. (To rival "The Avengers," it will need to earn at least $1.5 billion.)
Here are the top five grossing weekends at the box office:
| Movie | Distributor | Opening Weekend | Worldwide Box Office |
| "Marvel's The Avengers" | Disney | $207.4 million | $1.5 billion |
| "Iron Man 3" | Disney | $175.3 million | $680 million to date |
| "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" | Warner Bros. | $169.2 million | $1.3 billion |
| "The Dark Knight Rises" | Warner Bros. | $160.9 million | $1 billion |
| "The Dark Knight" | Warner Bros. | $158.4 million | $1 billion |
All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
It's not what is poured into a student, but what is planted.
The real measure of our wealth is how much we'd be worth if we lost all our money.
