IRON MAN 2 EARNS FIFTH LARGEST MOVIE OPENING IN HISTORY

May 10, 2010 - Iron Man Tony Stark piloted to the top of the box office this past weekend, fanning the excitement surrounding Stern Pinball's Iron Man™ pinball machine.

"Iron Man 2," the sequel starring Robert Downey Jr., earned $133.6 million domestically on its opening weekend, according to distributor Paramount Pictures. The opening moved past the original "Iron Man" movie, which had a $98.6 million debut in 2008, and landed the record as the fifth-biggest opening weekend.

"Iron Man 2" has taken in $194 million overseas since it debuted in many international markets last week, bringing its worldwide total to over $327 million.

Stern Pinball's recent release of the Iron Man™ pinball machine has been met with much praise and excitement. So much so that the Iron Man™ pinball release parties at GameWorks in four different cities were filled with eager pinball players lining up to play the game.
