Last Week’s Results
While it didn’t quite reach expectations, the latest X-Men film still managed to top the box office with a strong opening. It only goes to show that even a popular franchise can’t reach the same heights it once did when the predecessor is considered weaker. Word of mouth may still keep the film chugging over the next few weeks, but that remains to be seen.
