LOGAN Claws In $33 Million At The Friday Box Office To Put It On Track For A Huge $80M Opening Weekend
Who says R-rated blockbusters don't do business? After a very impressive showing at Friday's BO, James Mangold's Logan is on course to exceed initial expectations with an $80M opening weekend...
After James Mangold's Logan took in $9.5 million from Thursday night screenings, analysts predicted that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine swansong would exceed initial $65 - $70 million estimates and come out of its opening weekend having made closer to $80M, and it looks like that's exactly what it's on track to do.
Last night, the brutally violent R-rated comic book flick earned $33M, which means it'll most likely accumulate $80 million from 4,071 theaters for the weekend. This gives it one of the best openings of all time for an R-rated release, and one of the top March openings ever. Plus, Logan opens simultaneously in several foreign markets this weekend, and could post an international bow in the $75 million-$100 million range.
Not too shabby! Tell us, did you catch Logan yet? If so, what did you think? Sound off below.
