Markiplier’s ’IRON LUNG’ is projected to have earned over $30M domestically by Sunday.

The film will have earned over 10X its production budget.

Incredible to see @youtubecreators like @Markiplier holding the keys to their own production and distribution. This is the new era of Hollywood.

[Variety @Variety]

“Iron Lung” pulled in an estimated $8.9 million on Friday for a first-place finish, an impressive result considering the film was self-distributed and funded by YouTube superstar Mark Fischbach, aka Markiplier. Domestic gross should climb to $17 million through Sunday, well past initial projections of $10 million. https://t.co/e5yMQE35wL
