$23mil Friday/ $58mil Est. Wkend: X MEN: FIRST CLASS looks weak.

For any other movie $60 million would look impressive but look at the following opening weekends:


X-Men                                  (2000)    $54mil (adjusted for inflation: $79mil)
X-Men 2                               (2003)    $86mil
X-Men 3                               (2006)    $102mil
also:
X-Men Origins:  Wolverine  (2009)    $85mil

SO..whether it's the fourth or fifth entry in the series that $60mil weekend estimate looks pretty soft.


2011 big opening weekends:

Pirates 4       $90mil
Fast Five      $86mil
Hangover 2  $85mil
Thor             $65mil.
