X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Opening Day $35 Million.

[t0nythebeat]

seriously.
Wolverine is 100% trailing Iron Man and this opening is AMAZING.
Wolverine will loose about 27% of Friday's audience today and look for it to end in the $80 to $85 million range for opening week (could be higher but don't count on it).

this was a great opening making more than X-Men and trailing X2 ... now the troubles ahead might come, but we'll see. I think it can atleast reach $155 million domestic.

yeah i work at AMC and we were expecting sell out after sell out.

it only sold out 4 of the 20 showings.

[STARSCREAM]

I went to the 9:15 pm showing last night it was pretty much a sell out. When it was over there was tons of applause. Everyone here seemed to love it. I think it will make quite a bit today and tonight too and possibly tomorrow. I think it will have a nice opening weekend. After that though there is probably gonna be a big dropoff, especially with Star Trek starting next weekend. The movies are about to be rolling out one after another.

For two of us with a coke it was $11.00. Marta says the movie sucked. I give it a could have waited to rent the Blu disk.

It was a 4 P.M. matinée. 1/2 full in a larger theater.

I agree with your assesment. Don't think it will match Iron Man's initial weekend box office total. However, as a huge superhero fan. I am glad it is doing well.

It will fall sharply the next again week.

Ours was sold out until 2 showings from the one we actually went. They came in to tell us about 15 minutes before the movie started that it was sold out. BTW, I thought is was awesome, far and away better than IM. The introduction of Gambit was awesome but his limited screentime left much to be desired.

It made 98m to be exact. So far wolverine is a bit behind Iron Man. I think it will fall short of that record, by making about 90m this weekend. That's still pretty good.

No they don't, but its common for a drop, not necessarilly alarge drop (and some do see increases in the second week, though it isn't all that common). I haven't seen the film and may catch it in around two weeks (my life will be pretty hectic untill then), but wont be hugely dissapointed if I don't see it in cinemas).

Superhero movies that do not have good buzz tend to fall greatly after opening weekend. I will surmise that the box office pattern will mirror Watchmen's take after a few weeks.
