Weekend box office: WOLVERINE Slashes Competition with $87M
May 3rd, 2009
He’s no Iron Man and no team of mutants, but Wolverine kicked off the summer with a solid $87 million domestic ticket sales. Add in $73 million from the 101 foreign markets where it opened simultaneously and Fox’s first “X-Men” spinoff grossed an $160 million around the globe, according to preliminary estimates from the studio.
"Wolverine's" healthy performance with women appears to have impacted "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," which opened to a softer-than-expected $15.3 million.
