Hugh Jackman is back this weekend in his upcoming film Real Steel. The movie which puts the focus on robot boxing set in the near future is, according to Deadline, heading towards a 20 million dollar weekend with possibilities that it could reach 30. Real Steel is set to beat out George Clooney's new movie The Ides Of March as well as current number one and family friendly film Dolphin Tale.



These are very early estimates. But DreamWorks/Disney’s Real Steel is dominating the North American box office today and looking at a mid-$20sM weekend if not higher. Hollywood will only be impressed if the result is mid-$30sM because this action pic has a family overlay and its budget was $110+M.


Many had written off Real Steel as a film that they were not willing to see, but as time wore on many people, myself included, have changed their opinion about the film and have decided to give it a chance. Real Steel is currently 59% rated fresh on Rotten Tomatoes receiving mixed reviews by critics.

Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, Kevin Durand, Hope Davis, and hits theater TODAY!!!
