'Iron Man' forges historic haul

Robert Downey Jr. proved his comeback mettle at the box office as "Iron Man" raked in a near-record $200 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

 

The once-troubled Hollywood star scored his biggest hit as the first flick owned by a Marvel comics studio kicked off the summer movie season with a bang.
