'Wolverine' Made So Much Money
Movie audiences this weekend, as expected, heavily favored movies about guys with claws:
1. X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Neither an early internet leak nor hundreds of awful reviews could stop Hugh Jackman-cuts-through-things from grossing $87 million.
2. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - $15.3 million. It's like no one even cares about Matthew McConaughey learning valuable lessons by magically revisiting his sexual past.
3. Obsessed - $12.2 million. With so many losing their jobs, Americans needed to be reminded how great it was before the economic crash, when everyone had a great career, a hot temp at work obsessed with them, and Beyonce as a wife.
4. 17 Again - $6.4 million. Ah, to be 17 again. I would waste so much time playing StarCraft, again.
5. Monsters vs. Aliens - $5.8 million. Still?
