Wolverine Takes the Box Office

X-Men Origins-Wolverine had a huge take at the box office over the weekend with 87 million dollars. That was the number one this weekend by far, with the next closest being the Matthew McConaughey movie, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past in second with just 15 million. That put the movie right in the pack with the three previous "X-Men" movies in which Jackman played mutant superhero Wolverine. The trilogy's final chapter, "X-Men: The Last Stand," had the franchise's best opening with $102.8 million.
But "Wolverine" came in ahead of the first two movies. "X-Men" did $54.5 million in its first weekend and "X2: X-Men United" took in $85.6 million. Click on the pic for the trailer.
