X-Men Origins:Wolverine -- How does its stack up?

So now that Wolverine's opening weekend box office numbers have been released, how does it stack up against other Comic Book adaptations?

X-Men Origins: Wolverine: $87,000,000~
The Dark Knight: $158,411,483
Batman Begins: $48,745,440
Spiderman: $114,844,116
Spiderman 2: $88,156,227
Spiderman 3: $151,116,516
Iron Man: $98,618,668
X-men: $54,471,475
X2: X-Men United: $85,558,731
X-men: The Last Stand: $102,750,665
Hulk: $62,128,420
The Incredible Hulk: $55,414,050
Superman Returns: $52,535,096
Watchmen: $55,214,334
300: $70,885,301

Obviously I didn't include everything, but this just gives you an idea of how the Wolverine film compared with others of the same genre.

In comparison to the other X-Films, X3 had the best performance in it's opening weekend, but it quickly went downhill. I believe that Wolverine has more staying power and will surpass the box office numbers of X-men: The Last Stand.

I think we all agree that The Dark Knight will remain on top for quite some time.

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!

Well wolverine regardless of twisting the source material WAS better than X3. In X3 it was like someone had a grab bag of powers and events that were interchangeable. Im surprised magneto didnt have claws.

Can't help but wonder... But does anyone think Marvel & DC will do cross over movie's down the road like they did with the Comics back in the late 90's....

I mean after they do all these movies...

Just wait in 10-15 years when they reboot everything again to compensate for all the new technology. I will be able to tell me kids, i remember watching this back in the day before you were born!
