I bet a lot of people will be going back to see Iron Man when they learn that there's a significant post-credit sequence. (over 90% of my audience was out in a flash when the credits rolled).

Mark my words. Next week's box office.
1. Iron Man at $48 million.
2. Speed Racer at $34 million.
It will bow out of it's theatrical run shy of $60 million. Great for a film that cost under $20 million, not great as it was a highly looked upon Apatow release after the failures of Walk Hard and Drillbit Taylor.
The film has already made a profit for Universal, which in the long run, is all that's necessary.
1. Iron Man at $48 million.
2. Speed Racer at $34 million.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall isn't as big as knocked up, but its still in the top five a few weeks later.

And many people here doubted that it would even break 50 or 60 million.

And the character concept is fairly believable - and damned cool!
So the only things surprising me are just how good the script was, how high profile the cast was, and how big the opening weekend was (I always expected a $60 million or so 1st weekend, which would have been pretty good).
