J.J. Abram's
Super 8 has defied the odds by hitting the top spot this weekend at the box office, earning $37 million compared to the $25 million of last week's box office winner,
X-Men: First Class (which is now approaching $100 million domestically). While
Super 8 didn't have that strong of an opening, many of the reviews from both critics and audiences are praising the film.
Access Hollywood has the details below...
Hollywood’s summer box-office streak has cooled a bit with a $37 million opening weekend for J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi tale Super 8.
Super 8 bumped off the previous weekend’s No. 1 movie, the comic-book prequel X-Men: First Class, which slipped to second-place with $25 million. First Class raised its domestic total to $98.9 million.
Both
Super 8 and
X-Men: First Class are out now at your local theater!
