2013’s The Wolverine fared a bit worse domestically, with a $53.1 million opening weekend en route to $132.5 million domestic, although it performed better in international markets with a worldwide total of $414.8 million worldwide, from a $120 million budget.
As far as opening weekend rollout, Logan, featuring Hugh Jackman’s final performance as Wolverine, is opening in 4,071 theaters this weekend, according to Box Office Mojo, earning an impressive per-screen average of $20,953.
No budget figures have been confirmed for Logan yet, but Hugh Jackman and company should have no trouble taking down its competition in opening weekend.
Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a chauffeur.
