The box office for this weekend are in!
X-Men: First Class, the latest prequel to the highly successful
X-Men trilogy, has officially opened at #1 at the United States box office, with an expected $56 million. While it's not overwhelming (
X-Men Origins: Wolverine opened to $85 million when it was released in 2009), it's still in line with what 20th Century Fox has expected.
Reuters has the following to say...
The opening for X-Men: First Class was in line with the studio's relatively modest expectations but paled against most of the other films in the Marvel comic book franchise. The previous one opened to $85 million two years ago.
Sales data was not immediately available from the film's foreign showings in 75 countries.
So do you think that the film deserved the money it got (assuming most of you have seen it already)? Anyways,
X-Men: First Class is out now at your local theater!
