Box Office Mojo reports..
6/3 Update: In its midnight launch, X-Men: First Class pulled in $3.37 million at 1,783 locations. That edged out Thor's $3.25 million midnight opening at 1,800 locations, but it trailed X-Men Origins: Wolverine's $5 million midnight start at 2,000 locations. So far this year, The Hangover Part II is the top midnight draw at $10.4 million, followed by Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' $4.7 million and Fast Five's $3.8 million.
If
First Class continues this way it could earn closer to $65 million in (Thor grossed $65.7)it's first weekend. Still early days of course, but it's extremely unlikely that the movie will come to any kind of screeching halt. Of course, as we all(or we all should anyway) know, how much cash a movie makes is really no reflection on it's quality. Just look how much green the latest
Pirates Of The Caribbean is raking in. So even if
First Class Hammers
Thor at the box office, it doesn't mean it's a better movie. I mean it IS a better movie..but that's just a coincidence:)
