The biggest movie of the summer just became the biggest movie of the year.

Iron Man became the first film of 2008 to pass the $300 million mark at the domestic box office today.

Wednesday’s totals were not yet available, but the film has so far made no less than $680,000 per day in ticket sales, meaning if the Marvel flick didn’t hit the mark last night, it’s a statistical certainty it will do so today.

Worldwide, the film has grossed an additional $250 million, bringing its global gross to more than $550 million.
