Despite mixed reviews, the Hugh Jackman vehicle X Men Origins: Wolverine has expectedly topped this past weekend’s box office, with early estimates set at $87 million. This puts the prequel in second place for the best opening in the X-Men franchise; X-Men 3 has the best opening weekend of the four films with a gross of $102.8 million.
The film faced tough criticism over its under-developed story, while Jackman received rave reviews for his portrayal of lead character Wolverine, arguably one of the most popular characters within the franchise.
Matthew McConaughey’s romantic comedy “Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past” came in second place with just over $15 million. Last week’s box office winner, “Obsessed”, fell to third place with $12 million.
