According to Hollywood.com box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian (der-GAIR'-uh-BEE'-dee-un), that puts "Wolverine" solidly in line with the three previous "X-Men" movies in which Jackman costarred.
The final chapter of that trilogy, "X-Men: The Last Stand," was the most successful with $45.1 million on opening day.
But "Wolverine" outdid the first two movies. "X-Men" had an opening day of $20.8 million, while "X2: X-Men United" did $31.2 million on its first day.
