'Wolverine' Shreds The Box Office

So there's this new movie called Wolverine...and it's kind of a big deal.

The fourth X-Men flick, featuring a huge and hunky Hugh Jackman, hauled in $87 million this weekend ($160 worldwide) to make it the year's biggest box office opening so far. The film made $35 million on opening day.

Coming in at second place was Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a romantic comedy featuring Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey. The film raked in $15.3 million, and MTV is reporting that exit polls suggest that the 70% female audience were wives and girlfriends of the men who saw Wolverine. 

Readers, did you check out Hugh Jackman at the movies this weekend? Let us know your thoughts on the movie in the comments section!

“Despite some bad to average reviews, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine made a huge splash at the box office.”
Socialite Life
“The gross put the star-crossed superhero flick—leaked print, swine-flu scare, bad reviews and all—in the neighborhood of Iron Man, which began last summer with a $35.2 million bang.”
