"Iron Man 3" Is Breaking Records Overseas

It's opened bigger than The Avengers.

None

Iron Man 3 isn't set to be released in the U.S. until this Friday, but it's already begun rolling out in multiple countries overseas - and after only five days, it's already breaking records. According to Deadline, the film has already managed to pull in a whopping $195.3 million in 42 territories so far, which is 79 percent of the international market.

Not only does that number mean that the film opened bigger than last year's The Avengers, but apparently it's already eclipsed the entire international run of 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger - in just one weekend. If these numbers keep up, it's looking like it'll definitely break the rest of the records set by previous Marvel films overseas.

Additionally, it's broken the records for biggest opening weekends ever in Argentina, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia. Tony Stark, still a BAMF.
