The third Wolverine film opened comfortably ahead of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine (£6.66m, including £1.87m in previews) and 2013’s The Wolverine (£4.69m including £939,000 in previews).
With a debut of £9.44m including previews of £2.50m, Logan has delivered the biggest UK opening for an X-Men movie.
Of course, thanks to cumulative box office of £29.9m, it’s far ahead of all the other best picture nominees.
The Wolverine is the lowest commercial achiever, with a UK total of £13.8m.
