“Iron Man 3,” the superhero movie from Walt Disney Co.’s Marvel division, looks set to jump-start the summer movie season with the biggest opening in a year that so far has proved disappointing to Hollywood.
“Iron Man 3” may take in more than $160 million in its U.S. debut this weekend, according to Phil Contrino, chief analyst for Boxoffice.com. That would be the biggest debut since “The Avengers,” also from Marvel, opened with $207.4 million a year ago to set a record.
