Mutants rule the Memorial Day Box Office

| 1 Comment

X-Men 3 did well this Memorial Day weekend, pulling in an astonishing 120.1 million over four days, ousting DaVinci Code from the current top spot and breaking the previous Memorial Day record of 90.1 million dollar record set by Jurassic Park way back in 1997. Friday's haul of 45.5 million on X3 loses out only to Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (50 million) for biggest single day gross ever, and the three day take of Friday through Sunday of 103.1 million is amongst the top four, just behind Spider-Man (114.8), Star Wars Episode III (108.1), and Shrek 2 (108).
The financial success of this film pretty much guarantees the making of an X4.

well, don't know about an "x4," but there are "wolverine" and "magneto" spin-off movies already planned. what'd you think of the movie? (btw, glad to know you're sleeping again.)
