X-Men Origins: Wolverine is racking it in, placing it along the ranks of the X-Men trilogy. Hugh Jackman has been doing great and apparently the opening weekend is only the tip of the iceberg. Wolverine has beaten other films that debuted as well such as Ghosts of Girlfriend’s Past ($15.3 million) and Obsessed ($12.2 million).
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.
“It’s all systems go,” said Chris Aronson, distribution executive for 20th Century Fox , which releases the “X-Men” movies. “Audiences have a huge appetite for Hugh and this character.”
