BOX OFFICE: THE WOLVERINE Projected For $70 Million Opening Weekend
Despite not opening until a couple of weeks from now, industry experts have predicted that 20th Century Fox's The Wolverine is set to open to $70M domestically when it hits theaters July 26th. Read on for details!
The Wrap reveals that despite not opening as big as this year's Iron Man 3 and Man Of Steel, 20th Century Fox's The Wolverine is "projected to debut with around $70 million on July 26." While not being the biggest film of the year, The Wolverine has also not been the most followed film since its announcement. This is, of course, because of the bad taste that Origins gave many fans and movie goers alike. If The Wolverine is a huge box office success, would you like to see more of Hugh Jackman as Logan? Or do you think it's time for the Aussie actor to hang up his claws? Comment below and let me know!
Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
