LOGAN Begins Its Box Office Run With A Massive $9.5M From Thursday Night Preview Screenings
James Mangold's Logan's opening weekend got off to a great start last night after clawing in a very impressive $9.5 million, and now looks set to perform even better than initial estimates suggested...
Reports are coming in that James Mangold's Logan managed to take in a whopping $9.5 million from preview screenings last night - which is even more impressive when you factor in the film's R rating. To put it into context, that just beats the $9.4M earned by Disney/Marvel’s Doctor Strange back in November, though it didn't quite manage to top Fox's other R-rated blockbuster, Deadpool, which made an unprecedeted $12.7 million after a superb marketing campaign.
Early estimates suggested that the Hugh Jackman's Wolverine swansong would hit $65 - $70 million by Monday, but this means it's more likely to come in around the $75 - $80M mark.
